More than 75 animals at a facility in Vav-Tharad district fell ill, prompting an investigation into possible poisoning.
Around 44 cattle died after more than 75 animals fell ill at Shri Dharanidhar Gaushala in Changda village of Gujarat's Vav-Tharad district, according to India Today.
The incident reportedly occurred during the night when several cattle began showing signs of illness and died one after another.
Veterinary teams from the Animal Husbandry Department reached the site to provide medical intervention, which helped save the remaining cattle.
Preliminary suspicions suggest the deaths may have been caused by pesticide exposure or contaminated fodder, though the exact cause is not yet established.
Veterinary doctors conducted post-mortem examinations and sent collected samples to a laboratory for testing to determine the cause of death.
Mahesh Dave said the situation caused widespread grief among cow devotees and residents of the surrounding villages.
