Seriously, that's what you'd have to do to literally protect a cow from getting disease, if you're that serious about it. In reality, you can't fully protect a cow from disease, no matter what you try to do. All you can do is vaccinate your cattle regularly, quarantine new animals for several weeks before introducing them to the herd, and check them regularly for signs of illness.


How do you stop chickenpox instantly?

You cannot stop chickenpox instantly, you just have to wait. See, the bumps from chickenpox actually protect your body from harmful bacteria in your body.

But if you feel the chickenpox lasted to long, check up with the doctor immediately.
