Bloated Cows
Causing A Panic
New York (JTA) — Rumors of
milk being rendered nonkosher
have been spreading like wildfire
through the observant Jewish
community and are being fueled
by an unusual source —
methane.
Panicked calls from concerned
citizens have flooded the offices
of kashrut supervision agencies
and rabbis nationwide as the ru-
mors swirl from the bungalow
colonies of the Catskills to the ur-
ban shtetls of Williamsburg, Bon
Park, Lakewood and Baltimore.
The kashrut supervision agen-
cies have, by and large, encour-
aged kosher food consumers to go
on drinking milk and eating dairy
products as their experts anx-
iously try and get to the bottom
of the issue.
"We've got a lot of hysterical
people out there and the public is
clamoring for answers. The ru-
mors are flying fast and furious,"
said an official at one kashrut su-
pervision agency.
The source of the controversy
is apparently a bovine digestive
disorder.
The hay and feed consumed by
cows can result in an excess pro-
duction of methane gas, which
causes some dairy cows to become
so distended and uncomfortable
that their milk production suf-
fers.
To cure them, two procedures
are commonly employed which
may render the cows, and there-
fore everything they produce,
treif, or nonkosher.
One procedure involves a farm
worker inserting a needle into the
cow's belly to allow the methane
to escape. In the other procedure,
for chronically suffering cows, a
veterinarian makes a six- to
eight-inch incision to untwist part
of the cow's intestine and then ad-
heres the intestine to the interi-
or of the abdominal wall to keep
digestion moving. -
The problem, say some rab-
binical authorities, is that the pro-
