cellulose
The answer to that would most likely be cellulose or lignin. Cows can break this substance down, but not completely, and as such cannot be entirely digested in their stomachs.

There are many reasons why a cow cannot get up and/or walk around. A cow that is down is merely a symptom of something more serious, like milk fever, a pinched nerve, dehydration/starvation, broken leg, dystocia, etc. Please see your vet immediately if you suspect anything serious to he/she can diagnose the problem for you.

I am not going to give you an answer because you MUST, first and foremost, find out why she cannot stand before you force her to do something she either does not want to or cannot do. To do this, you must contact your local large animal veterinarian: this is imperative!! She may be down for a wide variety of reasons, not just hard birthing: Milk Fever, Ketosis, mineral deficiency, broken leg, broken pelvis, broken spine, starvation, dehydration, infection, the lost goes on. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR VET to get a proper diagnosis in order to find out whether your cow can be helped to stand again, or whether it's too late and you have no choice but to put her down.
