Cow blowing, Kuhblasen, phooka, or doom dev, is a process used in many countries according to ethnographers, in which forceful blowing of air into a cow's vagina (or sometimes anus) is applied to induce her to produce more milk.
Cow blowing was the reason why Gandhi abjured cow milk, saying that
"since I had come to know that the cow and the buffalo were subjected to
the process of phooka, I had conceived a strong disgust for milk."
A brief search yielded a video of the process. Frankly, I don't find
the maneuver any more disgusting than American presidential politics,
but in recognition of the more refined sensibilities of some of this
blog's readers, I'll place the a link to the video, go to it if you wish:
