The Dhaka Times Desk Some unscrupulous traders are busy fattening cows. On the other hand, experts said that these fat cows contain fresh poison.
Ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, news has come out that farmers are busy fattening cows from different parts of the country. Besides, Ritimath Peele is shocked by the opinions given by the experts concerned. Experts say, this cow will become a complete poison.
Experts say, now fat cows mean fresh poison for humans. Terrible harmful substances like steroids enter the human body through beef, damaging the liver, kidneys, heart and brain. Therefore, as an additional precaution, there will be a special test system in animal huts before the upcoming Qurbani Eid. If something harmful is found in the cow's body, it will not be allowed to be sold.
Director General of the Department of Livestock. Mosaddek Hossain told the media, 'We face such a situation every year. So this time we have already sent letters across the country asking our officials to be careful about this, so that no sacrificial animal can be used with steroid-hormones or any toxic drugs.'
What harm can this beef do?
Director of IEDCR, Department of Health Pathology, Disease Control and Research Institute. Mahamudur Rahman told the news media, "Even though some steroid drugs are used to treat people including cancer, they are absolutely prohibited for healthy people.
In response to a question about whether the quality of this medicine is correct after cooking, he said that its moderate quality is preserved in the case of use as a medicine. But the quality and quantity of steroids applied to the body of the cattle by the traders for the sake of extra profit is not destroyed by the heat of cooking.'
Registrar of Bangladesh Veterinary Council Dr. Imran Ali Khan told the media, 'Various injections of dexamethasone group of steroid items are commonly used in salable cattle fattening in our country. Apart from this, urea is fed. A variety of high-dose vitamin supplements are also given orally. This tendency increases before sacrifice. That's why steroids don't get destroyed even in the heat of fire.'
Every year many have become millionaires by fattening cows and selling them in the Qorbani market. That is why some businessmen are doing such work for money even though it is unethical. Earlier, cows were fattened by natural means, by eating different types of nutritious food including grass, khail. Some common vitamins were also fed, which increased the cow's digestion and increased appetite. Now a class of unscrupulous traders are fattening cows by using poisonous drugs.
According to the information of several traders who run cow markets in different areas of the capital every time during Qurbani Eid, many cows die after being brought to the market during Qurbani. Many times, the death occurs even after the buyers buy the cow and take it home. The main reason for this is that due to the fattening process, the cow becomes fat, but the cow has no energy. Although it is not visible from the outside, these cows are sick inside. So everyone needs to be careful while buying cows.
