  Author(s): Nikita Pandit*, Yogranjan Singh, R.S. Chauhan and Chetana Deoghare
  
  In India, for many cultures, the cow (or Kamadhenu) is a sacred animal. The current research set out to determine if cow urine concentrate made through total evaporation of cow urine retained any of its antimicrobial, antifungal, or anthelmintic properties. The disc diffusion method was utilized to examine antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Antifungal activity was evaluated against several Aspergillus species using the agar-well diffusion technique. An adult Indian earthworm model was used to study the anthelmintic activity. The CUC noticed a notable inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria. It was discovered that fungi inhibition was dose-dependent. Among the tested fungi, A. niger showed the greatest sensitivity. Worm mortality in the anthelmintic assay was found to be concentration dependent and CUC was found to have a .. Read More»
