6. Our Commitment: The Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare

At Jyoti Gaushala, we ensure a life of dignity and compassion for every cow through internationally recognized principles:

• Freedom from hunger and thirst: We provide clean water, nutritious fodder, and regular feeding schedules to ensure every cow remains healthy.

• Freedom from discomfort: Our cows live in clean, spacious shelters with proper bedding, shade, ventilation, and protection from extreme weather.

• Freedom from pain, injury, and disease: Our veterinary team conducts regular check-ups, vaccinations, and emergency treatments for injured or sick cows.

• Freedom to express natural behavior: We provide open areas for movement and natural grazing, allowing cows to socialize freely.

• Freedom from fear and distress: We maintain a peaceful, stress-free environment with gentle handling to ensure emotional well-being.

We support ethical, non-commercial, and humane breeding practices aimed at preserving indigenous cow breeds and improving their long-term health and wellbeing—never for exploitation.

8. Promoting Natural Farming

We actively support natural and organic farming by providing farmers with

• Jeevamrut and natural fertilizers made from cow dung and urine

• Natural pesticides

• Training on zero-chemical sustainable agriculture

These initiatives help create greener, healthier farmlands while supporting rural communities.
