The development of Ganajeevamrutha and Jeevamrutha, two natural farming additives, required the identification of an effective combination of cow dung and cow urine. In this study, cow dung and urine samples were taken from desi cows (Gir) and cross breeds (HF) and analysed for total bacterial, fungal, actinomycete population, and nutritional status (N, P and K). In terms of bacterial population (50 x 106 cfu/ g of sample), fungal population (29 x 104 cfu/g of sample), actinomycetes population (9.3 x 103 cfu/g of sample), and nutrients status (N (0.532 percent), P (0.173 percent), and K (0.182 percent), samples from desi cow dung had a higher number of microflora population. As a result, it is regarded as the desi cow dung and urine is ideal cultural material for preparing Ganajeevamrutha and Jeevarutha. |
