according to imdb.com the cow was real. the cow scene was in the original movie.redux adds a lot of extra footage. the sequence with the french plantation people and the second meeting with the playboy bunnies, none of that is in the original version. they pull down the pacing and atmosphere of the film, i think.
i wrote a long post on apocolypse now on this board a long time back if you want to find that. it was in response to bruce from dc saying he wasn't so hot on the film.
jean-luc godard's weekend shows a pig getting killed. it's pretty disturbing how that's shown.
