The mother cow in this video just gave birth and the IFAW/CARE animal rescue team was onsite to remove her placenta. When cattle roam as free as they do in Indonesia, it's a risk to for the mother to be dragging that placenta around for days. It offers the opportunity for wild animals to rip it and eat it from the mother; which can not only be painful but life threatening as well.
