ABSTRACT:
India is a place of customs, and its scientific heritage dates back thousands of years, creating a direct connection between social customs and their rationale. India is an agricultural nation with a wide range of flora and fauna. Every Hindu in India worships the cow, known as Gaumata. The five cow products are referred to as "Panchgavya," which are made up of dung, milk, curd, ghee, and urine. Cow pad is another name for cow poo. Cow dung contains hemicelluloses, cellulose, minerals, and crude protein. In India, plastering walls and floors is another usage for cow dung slurry. Research evaluating the antibacterial effects of Coprophilous fungus (dung-loving) suspension in distillation water against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus was conducted in consideration of this old Indian ritual. The results showed that the suspension was extremely effective against germs. According to the study, coprophilous fungal suspension has antibacterial qualities that can be utilized to combat certain harmful microorganisms or disorders.
