According to Hindu thought Pavithra Jal is Holy water which purifies the mind and body. Panchagavya or the five products from the cow- urine, dung, milk, curd and ghee, used in ayurveda, and Hindu rituals- are believed to have cleansing properties, much like the waters of the Holy Ganges, Lake Pushkar or the Mahamgam Pond.However skeptics may have reservations about the purity and efficacy of the Panchagavya.. Further modern distillation methods to extract the active principle in a bioactive form may help alleviate the queasiness associated with consuming cow urine.
The Holy Cow has a special place in , Hindu mythology and scriptures. The Vedic people believed that the body of the cow houses several demy-gods besides Mahalakshmi. It is revered as a maternal figure or Go Matha because it gives milk throughout its life. When we see Shiva along with the black cow, we are able to overcome the malefic effects of planets in our natal horoscope.(e.g.Sri Akilandeswari temple-Tiruvanikoil) When we see the ankles of the cow we protect ourselves from sudden death. Circumambulating the cow is equivalent to visiting all the holy places.It is Lord Krishna who symbolized the relationship man should have with the cow . Nakul from the Mahabharata was known as a famous cow urine therapist. The cow is the only divine living being that has a Surya Ketu Nadi (vein connected to sun) passing through her backbone. The Surya Ketu vein interacts with the sun’s rays to produce gold salts in the cow’s blood. Therefore cow's milk, butter and ghee have a golden hue. These salts are present in the cow's
milk and other bodily fluids, which miraculously cure many diseases.
If by chance the cow ingests some poisonous or harmful material, it is deto...

European Patent—EP1330253B1 for using cow urine Bioactive fraction, as bio enhancer of anti-infective, anti-cancer agents and nutrients is expected soon
Also CSIR has filed US patent for Amrit Pani (mixture of cow dung + cow urine + jaggery) from NBRI Lucknow for soil health improvement properties
All the above claims had been made in Charaka Samhita, Sushrut, Vaghbhati and Nighantu, Ratnakar, etc.
The above examples very well prove the utility of cow dung and urine for sustainable agriculture as well as for almost curing or giving relief in many serious diseases like psoriasis, eczema, asthma, diabetes, blood pressure, renal failures and cancer, etc.
Cow urine contains 24 types of salts as well as iron, calcium, phosphorous, carbonic acid, potash and lactose.

In animal agriculture today, manure that is produced by hogs has the potential to do a lot
...e place where those 500 cows live and you can feed the cows. I have also done this because we Hindus think that cow is a holy animal and it is also the favorite animal of Lord Krishna.
A vegetarian lifestyle contributes to saving the environment and even saving the world. First of all, by repudiating to eat meat could contribute to water conservation. Specifically, the amount of water used to raise animals is about half of the water used in the United States. For instance, it takes about 2,640 gallons of water to produce only one pound of beef. If one pe...
All of the livestock being raised throughout the world produce enormous amounts of manure and urine, which in turn pollute natural resources. Animal waste changes the pH of our water, contaminates our air; and the gases emitted are believed to be a major cause of global warming. To keep costs down, the modern animal farming practice is to raise livestock in feedlots and factory farms where thousands or tens of thousands of animals are crowded into small spaces. However, this makes the animal waste problem worse because of concentrated waste. Livestock in the U.S. produce 2.7 trillion pounds of manure each year. That’s about ten times more waste than was produced by all the American
When most people think of dairy animals they immediately think of a cow because that’s what they are taught growing up. More recently dairy goats operations have become more and more popular because of this dairy goat products will continue to be product in demand. In 2013 there were three hundred sixty thousand milking goats with Wisconsin being number one with forty six thousand milking goats . In the United States cow’s milk is most commonly consumed milk; but worldwide its goat’s milk that is most widely consumed. Milk overall is known as a natural source of nutrients, goats milk is a popular alternate to cow’s milk with it being easier to digest. Overall goats are much more efficient than dairy cattle. They produce more for their body size, the cost to raise them is much cheaper, and the components in goat’s milk are on a much higher scale than any dairy cattle.
The digestive system can be thought of in two separate sections; the first being more similar to that of a human, and the second resembling the rumen of a cow more precisely. Their small stomach has the potential to store two to four gallons of substance for the average horse that wei...
This nanotechnology will be placed in the soil to act as receptors to relay information to farmers about the soil, such as pH levels, water levels, nutrition balances, etc. Thus, allowing farmers to never over or under water their crops. This will then lead to close to 100% efficiency in water usage, as no water will be wasted. Such efficiency will allow for a mass amount of crop production through less water use and provide Mother Nature enough time to restore what is used in a natural manner, thus disproving Hardin’s fear about running out of the most essential natural resource, water
In April 2008 the In Vitro Consortium first met at the Norwegian Food Research Institute. The consortium is “an international alliance of environmentally concerned scientists striving to facilitate the establishment of a large scale process industry for the production of muscle tissue for human consumption through concerted R&D efforts and attraction of funding fuels to these efforts.”Meat in both its production and its consumption has a number of destructive effects on not only the environment and humans but also live stock. Some of these effects are antibiotic resistant bacteria due to the overuse of antibiotics in livestock, meat-borne pathogens (e. coli), and diseases associated with diets rich in animal fats (diabetes). Meat consumption all over the world is increasing making meat a global issue. As a result many researchers have been trying to create meat substitutes to minimize the impact of consumption. Substitutes, to date, have been made from soybeans, peas, or even from animal tissues grown in a culture.

Cows are fed corn in concentrated animal feeding operations or (CAFO) which they aren’t supposed to eat. Cows have evolved to eat grass such as their multiply stomach but these days most the beef your eating will be have eaten corn with a cost to the environment, their health, and to you as a consumer. Grass has also evolved to be eaten by cows too, when a cow eats grass it won’t die as long as it gives it time to recover. Cows protect grass by eating shrubs and things that might compete; also they spread grass seeds and fertilizer with manure. Their daily diet in CAFO contains corn, protein supplement (containing molasses and urea), antibiotic drugs, alfalfa hay, and silage, these will be ground up and turned into feed. Cows used to be feed cow even though these animals are herbivores it was protein. They put scarps of meat into the feed. In till an outbreak of mad cow disease in England, mad cow disease is when something eats infected cow brain. Since they were eating cows and we eat the cows we were getting it to, the disease is always fatal. It was banned in 1997 but there are still some exceptions, we are still allowed to feed cows beef tallow and other animals. Some people worry that this could start mad cow disease again.
With new alternatives and methods for the contribution the humanity the traditional style of animal testing is unessesary. With these new developments the lives of millions of animals can be spared from death and abuse. Scientsist can perform more reliable products without the hassle of failing the clinical tests with thier animal experiments.
