cellulose
Cellulose is the substance found in plants that cannot be digested by cows due to their lack of necessary enzymes. It is a complex carbohydrate that provides structure to plant cell walls but passes through the cow's digestive system without being broken down, making it a source of dietary fiber.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, the scientific name for mad cow disease) is caused by a prion, a normal protein that is mis-folded and cannot be broken down by the body.
There are many reasons why a cow cannot get up and/or walk around.

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.

No. Besides, cows don't puke, and Melatonin is a hormone, not a substance from "cow puke."
yes they can, but they cannot walk down them.
This statement is a common riddle, and the answer is no, you cannot take a cow upstairs because it would be difficult and potentially dangerous to maneuver a heavy animal up a staircase.
