How would we count how much energy radiated by heat of bull/cow?
I think in order to model this you need to find out the body surface of a typical bull, as well as its body temperature. You then need to find the emissivity value of its fur/skin and then you can do a simple heat radiation calculation.
The average surface area of the bull skin is 3m2 and it's temp. is +/- 36,21 C
some resource calculated that human bodies radiate 5.7 mW/cm2, but how about bull ?, to conversion to joule/day
Here you will find an article about heat transfer of wet/dry cow fur. Unfortunately I do not have access but you might try get it via your institute:

i did calculated cattlebodies radiate 24.91 mW/cm2 but using the calories amount of cattle per day. is that true?
The problem is that heat exchange does not only take place through the skin but through respiration, evaporation, excrements and methane.
but metabolic always product a heat loss.
If i try develop a technology to convertion heat to electrically by use thermoelectric effect. would it be work ?
emissivity for a cow 0.98 off the 1000 + measurements on large animals 450-550 Wm-2 is the range of longwave heat loss from a species in summer conditions with summer insulation 0.2 - 0.05 °Cm2W-1
but they don't lose it all through heat radiation (what do you mean exactly by this word? when you say "heat radiation" i suppose you only talk about radiative heat transfer, but there is also convection etc), but a part of the energy from food goes into a variety of chemical reactions inside the body
what emisivity of cattle is 0,98 ? so this mean that Ongole has emisivity 0,98 too?
