Rotary International members deliver Mechanical Cow to Africa The Rotary Club of Moncton has delivered a Mechanical Cow to Zombodze primary and high schools in Swaziland, Africa. The mechanical cow is a soybean milk machine. Using just soybeans and water, the machine produces 30 litres of soy milk, which is rich in protein, per hour. It can operate for eight hours at a time before being cleaned. The six kilograms of left-over solids that are separated from the milk each hour are used to make many soy products, such as tofu, tempeh, yogurt, bread, and cookies. Much of Swaziland is faced with a challenge of poor nutrition. Most of the time the food eaten lacks protein. Soy milk provides all the essential nutrients needed by the body. The introduction of the mechanical cow will benefit students who have had nothing to eat at lunchtime and help them to be able to concentrate and work harder in school.
