Cow blow, of the tribes of Khoikhoi to induce production of milk. Drawing of unknown author around 1700–1740
Cow blowing,[1]Kuhblasen,[2]phooka, or doom dev[3] 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."[4]
