The Nano revolution!!!

Current trends in mass consumerism has led vendors to roll out affordable and efficient products that are consumed enmasse...

From mobile phones to personal music players, increasing disk space on pen drives and personal storage devices, digital quality to HD to 3D satellite set-top boxes, all screaming on the top of their voices to have you look at them...

What was purely physics technology related rat race to out-perform each other, has now also spilled over to the biology department too...

Kerela agricultural university (KAU) @ Thrissur district has put in its latest claim-to-fame, the world's shortest cow!!! Yep, you read it right, a nano cow revolution is gaining ground in Kerala, India, where farmers from various parts are putting in claims to have the shortest cow in the world...

Guinesss officials recorded Swallow, a dexter cow in the UK at 85cm. This was followed by KAU claiming Chotti, a cow in their dairy to be 72cm. Amrithadhara goushala ownes Bangari, measuring to just 71cms. Both belong to the Kasaragod Dwarf Category...

These cows need just 5kg fodder a day and yield 2-3 litres milk per day...enuf for an urban home...

Moreover, the urine from these cows has high medicinal value-apx Rs. 60 a litre...

Would you be seeing such cows as pets in cities soon???

  1. Amazing. Since we can't expand the Earth, very soon we will have to convert ourselves into Nano being in order to accommodate growing population and increasing carbon footprint :-)
