“…It has been observed that the dung excreted from Indian cow possesses excellent antimicrobial activity as compared to that of Jersey, Holstein or buffalo against K. pneumonia and E. coli (Rajeshwari et al 2016). Cow dung and cow urine have been found to possess antifungal activity against Rhizopus stolonifera, Sclerotium rolfsii and Fusarium oxysporum (Jandaik et al 2015;Bajaj et al 2022). The indigenous Himachali Pahari cow has not been explored earlier for its nutrient enriched properties of cow dung and bene cial microbes present in it.…”

In the present study, cow dung from different breeds of cow were explored for its microbial population, plant growth promoting (PGP) traits and antagonistic activity against six fungal phytopathogens. Physico-chemical analysis of cow dung showed highest N, P, K, EC and pH in indigenous Himachali Pahari non-lactating cow. The microbial population of cow dung was enumerated for a period of 7 days and maximum microbial count was found in Himachali Pahari lactating cow. A total of 32 morphologically different cow dung bacterial isolates were selected for further characterization. Cow dung isolates i.e., PL2, PL3 from Himachali Pahari lactating and PD3, PD5 from non-lactating cow; SL1, SL2, SL5 from Sahiwal lactating cow and SD3 from non-lactating cow; JL1 from Jersey lactating cow and JD1, JD2 from non-lactating cow were found positive for all PGP activities except HCN production. Quantitative estimation showed Jersey non-lactating isolate (JD3) best in phosphate solubilisation (127.79 µg/ml) and JD4 for siderophore production (98.42%) whereas, Himachali Pahari lactating (PL2) was found best in IAA production (80.03 µg/ml). Bacterial isolates were checked for antifungal activity against six fungal pathogens viz., Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotonia sclerotiorum, Pythium aphanidermatum, Phytopthora sp., Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum. Maximum antifungal activity was found in Jersey lactating isolates (JL1, JL2 and JL4) and Jersey non-lactating (JD1), against all tested fungal phytopathogens. Thirteen bacterial isolates were selected on the basis of PGP and antifungal activities for biochemical and molecular identification. PD3, SL1, JL1, JL2, JL4 and JD1 were identified as Bacillus subtilis, SL2 as Bacillus sp., SD3 and JL3 as Escherichia coli, SL5 as Arthrobacter gandavensis, PL2 as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and PL3 as Microbacterium thalassium.

“…The application of these liquid formulations in the farming sectors have been proven as an eco-friendly, eco-accommodating and contamination-free method that aids in providing essential macro and micronutrients to plants for their proper growth and development (Sakthivel et al 2022). Therefore, the use of panchgavya and jeevamruth as manure could enhance crop yields without harming the soil biodiversity, as well as pretence a great opportunity to substitute the use of inorganic fertilizers and agrochemicals in the agricultural sectors (Bajaj et al 2022). The aim of the project is to analyse the effectiveness of the liquid manures panchgavya (P) and jeevamruth (J) and their combination panchgavya + jeevamruth (P + J) given in different formats in the plants that were grown in eld and pots.…”

In the study, liquid manures (panchgavya and jeevamruth) having concentrations 0% (control), 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% were prepared by using the products obtained from indigenous cow and then applied in three different formats twice a month up to 3 months in both fields and pot plants. In the first format, panchgavya was applied directly to the root zone. In the second format, jeevamruth was also applied to the root zone. Likewise, in the third format, panchgavya was sprayed uniformly on the foliage, but jeevamruth was given to the root zone of the same plant with irrigating water. After that, growth and development parameters of plants were taken precisely at 30, 45, 75, 90 and 105 days after transplantation, and found that significant differences were noticed in terms of growth, flowering and fruiting between pots and field plants. It was noted that these parameters were superior in those plants that were grown in the field than that of pots plants at 5% and 6% in all three different combinations. Among three formats, the combined application of panchgavya and jeevamruth was found to have magnificent results, followed by solely applications of panchgavya and jeevamruth. The study aimed to evaluate and compare the beneficial effect of panchgavya and jeevamruth in organic agriculture by using different formats in both pots and the field environment.

“…138 A mixture of cow dung, urine, milk, ghee, and curd, called panchgavya or cowpathy, is a valuable medicine in Ayurvedic practices. Bajaj et al 139 declared that panchgavya has medicinal effects of antifungal, antibacterial, immunomodulation, skin tonic, and many others. This medicinal knowledge is exclusively claimed by Ayurvedic medicine.…”

Introduction This review aims to investigate data on traditional burn first aid materials used in different countries. Methods A systematic search was performed through 8 databases for studies on traditional burn first aid published in the 21st century. Data regarding study demographics, burn first aid, first aid materials, water irrigation, and source of knowledge were summarized, and the use of each material was discussed. Results A total of 28 studies including 20,150 subjects were identified. An average of 29% of the study population applied water irrigation, whereas 46% used various traditional materials, and 30% did not administer first aid. People with higher education and socioeconomy class tend to choose correct first aid actions. Discussion The single best treatment as burn first aid is cool-water irrigation. Despite that, various other materials have been used, most of which are not suitable for first aid. Some materials possess healing abilities and can be used as wound dressing, whereas others are harmful. Inappropriate materials are mostly used in underdeveloped regions lacking water access and hygiene. Mass media and community knowledge have a large influence in burn first aid practices. Conclusion Raising public health awareness on burn first aid is crucial along with providing the people access to water, basic hygiene, and health care.
