As with most phobias, the root word derived from Greek or Latin is combined with the Greek suffix phobia, meaning fear, to create the clinical term for said fear.
In this case, the root would be from the word "Bovine".(of or relating to cows)
[Late Latin bovnus, from Latin bs, bov-, cow. See gwou- in Indo-European Roots.]
So I would conclude that the term you seek is.......
Bovinophobia.
Post: I could not find any authoritative answers on the web using "Bovinophobia" as the key search parameter. Only chats and blobs and the like.

I repeatedly ran into references to "Bovine Phobia" but could not find a clinical term.
