Usually cow's saliva is not responsible for rabies I would suggest to wash the cut area with soap & water for 20 minutes under running tap. If the wound is too deep, you need to take tetany toxoid injection.

Hi, lybrate user, You should have washed hand with soap, properly. Cows are not injected anti rabis profylactic, risk of rabis is uncommon in cattle, usually. Tk, care.
