dcterms.descriptionSani Labaran Zango (PMB 1018 Daura, Katsina State, Nigeria ) tells us of a prolific cow in Kumbi Fulani village. 'The cow is of the red-bororo breed and is six years old. In 1997 it miscarried a set of triplets. In 1998 it again delivered triplets of which two died later. In 1999 it gave birth to a single cow and on 12 February 2000 it delivered a set of quadruplets. It is apparently healthy. Stress of excessive suckling is evident. The calves are also healthy. The cow needs a lot of high quality feed to produce sufficient milk. Already the local government chairman has donated wheat bran, cotton-seed cake and medications. We are looking for urgent assistance to help ensure the survival of the cow and the calves.'en
