			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Salient Features of Zero Budget Natural Farming <br />
The salient features of this method of farming are: <br />
1) Zero Budget Farming <br />
In this system of farming no monetary investment on the part of farmer is required for purchase of seeds, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals from the market. The farmer can produce his own seed or he may use seeds that are available with other farmers. More importantly, there is absolutely no place for fertilizers and plant protection chemicals in this scheme of farming. Dependence on hired labour is also reduced to the bare minimum as the system discourages intercultural operations. The whole philosophy behind this system is to make the farmer self-reliant so that he is freed from the clutches of money lenders and market dispensed high cost inputs. <br />
2) Seed Treatment with Beejamrutha <br />
Composition: <br />
a) 	Water 	20 litres <br />
b) 	Desi cow dung 	5 kg <br />
c) 	Desi cow urine 	5 Litres <br />
d) 	One handful of soil from the surface of field <br />
e) 	Lime 	50 grams <br />
<br />
The above mixture termed as ‘Beejamnrutha’ can be used to treat seeds, seedlings or any planting material. The planting material has to be simply dipped in ‘Beejamrutha’ taken out and planted. Beejamrutha protects the crop from harmful soil borne and seed borne pathogens during the initial stages of germination and establishment.  <br />
<br />
3) Treatment with Jeevamrutha <br />
Composition: <br />
1) 	Water 	200 litres <br />
2) 	Desi cow dung 	10 kg <br />
3) 	Desi cow urine 	5 to 10 litres <br />
4) 	Jaggery 	2 kg <br />
5) 	Flour of any pulse 	2 kg <br />
6 	Handful of soil from farm or forest 	- <br />
<br />
The above mixture will suffice for one time application on one acre crop. ‘Jeevamrutha’ is to be provided once in a fortnight or at least once in a month. It promotes immense biological activity in the soil and makes the nutrients available to the crop. Jeevamrutha is not to be considered as nutrient for the crop but only a catalytic agent to promote biological activity in the soil. <br />
4) Mulching <br />
Mulching with organic residues or live mulching reduces tillage and consequently labour requirements, suppresses weeds, promotes humus formation and enhances the water holding capacity of the soil. Mulching enhances the biological activity and replenishes the nutrient base of the soil. Adequate mulching keeps the top and sub soil moist and enhances the water holding capacity of the soil and also reduces water loss due to evaporation so that the crop will be better equipped to tide over drought conditions. <br />
5) Plant Protection <br />
In the event of outbreak of insects and diseases the farmer can himself prepare home made pesticides and use it on the crops. <br />
Fungicide-I <br />
a) Butter milk fermented for five days 	5 litres <br />
b) Water 	50 litres <br />
<br />
Fungicide –II <br />
a) Desi cow milk 	5 litres <br />
b) Black Pepper Powder 	200 grams <br />
c) Water 	200 litres <br />
 <br />
<br />
Insecticide- I <br />
a) Powder of neem seed or Neem leaves 	20 kg <br />
b) Water 	200 litres <br />
<br />
Insecticide- II <br />
a) Cow dung 	5 kg <br />
b) Cow urine 	10 litres <br />
c) Neem leaves 	10 kg <br />
d) Water 	200 litres <br />
<br />
This mixture is particularly effective against aphids, jassids, mealy bugs and white flies. <br />
Insecticide – III <br />
a) Neem leaves 	10 kg <br />
b) Tobacco powder 	3 kg <br />
c) Garlic paste 	3 kg <br />
d) Green chillies paste 	4 kg <br />
<br />
The above ingredients should be soaked in cow urine for ten days. About 3 litres of this mixture can be mixed with 100 litres of water and sprayed on crops. <br />
The above mentioned fungicides and insecticides can be prepared by the farmer himself and used either as prophylactic or as curative measure for control of crop pests. If the economic injury to crops due to pests is less than five percent, it should be deemed to be ‘return to nature’ and no plant protection measures should be taken.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Is bull's (young or old) urine usable for medical purpose?<br />
Answer: Bull's urine is more strong. But its medical value is no less as species is same. <u><font color="Red">Just by smelling bull's urine, infertile woman can conceive child</font></u>. In Mahabharat Virat parva it is said "Rusbhmanshcapi, janami rajan pujit lakshnan. Yesham mutramupaghray api bandhya prasuyate". Meaning - I can recognise the best quality bulls, just by smelling whose urine the infertile woman can conceive.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>What is it?<br />
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute infectious disease, which causes fever, followed by the development of blisters (vesicles ) – chiefly in the mouth and on the feet. The disease is caused by a virus of which there are 7 types, which all produce similar symptoms. The different types can only be identified in the laboratory.<br />
How is it spread?<br />
The virus is present in great quantity in the fluid from the blisters, and it can also occur in saliva, milk and dung. Contamination of any objects with any of these discharges is a danger to other stock. At the height of the disease, virus is present in the blood. Infected animals begin by excreting the virus a few days before signs of the disease develop. Pigs in particular produce large numbers of virus particles.<br />
Airborne spread of the disease can take place and under favourable weather conditions the disease may be spread considerable distances by this route. For example, circumstantial evidence strongly suggests that the outbreak on the Isle of Wight in 1981 resulted from the airborne spread of the virus from Brittany in northern France.<br />
Animals pick up the virus either by direct contact with an infected animal or by contact with foodstuffs or other things which have been contaminated by such an animal, or by eating or coming into contact with some part of an infected carcase. In the past, outbreaks of the disease have been linked with the importation of infected meat and meat products. <br />
The disease is spread mechanically by the movement of animals, people, vehicles and other things which have been contaminated by the virus. Trucks, lorries, market places, and loading ramps – in or over which infected animals have travelled – are dangerous until disinfected. Roads may also become contaminated and virus may be picked up and carried on the wheels of passing vehicles.<br />
The boots, clothing and hands of a stockman who has attended diseased animals can spread the disease and dogs, cats, poultry, wild game and vermin may also carry infection.<br />
Which countries have recently had FMD?<br />
FMD is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa and South America with sporadic outbreaks in disease-free areas. Countries affected by FMD during 2004/5 include Afghanistan, Bhutan, Iran, Lebanon, Peru, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam. There have been no outbreaks of the disease in the EU since the 2001 outbreak which affected the UK, Eire, France and the Netherlands. <br />
Can people contract the disease?<br />
Advice from the Department of Health is that it is very rare. There has only been one recorded case of FMD in a human being in Great Britain and that was in 1966. The general effects of the disease in that case were similar to influenza with some blisters. It is a mild short-lived, self-limiting disease. The Food Standards Agency have advised that the disease in animals has no implications for the human food chain.<br />
There is, however, a human condition called Hand, Foot and Mouth disease, which is unrelated. It does not affect animals. If you are concerned, you should contact your GP.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Scientific Evidence:<br />
<br />
In ayurveda it is said:<br />
<br />
gavyam pavitram ca rasayanam ca pathyam ca hrdyam balam buddhi syata<br />
aayuh pradam rakt vikar hari tridosh hridrog vishapaham syata<br />
<br />
Meaning: Cow urine panchgavya is great elixir, proper diet, pleasing to heart, giver of mental and physical strength, enhances longevity. It balances bile, mucous and airs. Remover of heart diseases and effect of poison.<br />
<br />
For thousands of years, people in India have used cow urine and cow dung for different purposes in their daily and ceremonial activities. Being highly recommended by the scriptures, it is considered holy and safe to use.<br />
<br />
For many years, research has been conducted on how to make the recipes based on scriptural information. Some of the inputs were also taken from the most reliable research papers of other organizations that have been introducing these products for quite some time in the Indian market. All recipes for the GOMATA products were chosen carefully to make sure its contents, when combined with cow urine and cow dung, would not result in any negative reaction. Nevertheless, cow urine and cow dung are always pure, making the other contents purified.<br />
<br />
Glorification and Benefits of Cow Urine<br />
<br />
Amongst urines, cow urine is best. In Ayurveda where ever urine is mentioned, it is to be understood as cow urine. Statements of scriptures confirm this. Cow is our mother and we are her children. Therefore, cow urine is beneficial.<br />
<br />
1.Cow urine has amazing germicidal power to kill varieties of germs. All germ generated diseases are thus destroyed.<br />
2.According to Ayurveda the cause of all diseases is the imbalance in three faults (tri-dosas) i.e. mucous, bile and air. Cow urine balances the tri-dosas, thus diseases are cured.<br />
3.Cow urine corrects functioning of liver. So, liver makes healthy pure blood. It gives disease resistance power to the body.<br />
4.There are some micronutrients in our body, which give life strength. These micronutrients are flushed out through urine. Therefore gradually ageing steps in our body. Cow urine has all elements, which compensate for deficiency of nutrients in our body, which are required for healthy life. Thus Cow urine stops ageing process. So it is called an elixir and also life giving.<br />
5.Cow urine contains many minerals especially Copper, gold salts, etc. It compensates for bodily mineral deficiency. Presence of gold salts protects body against diseases.<br />
6.Mental tension hurts nervous system. Cow urine is called medhya and hradya, which means it, gives strength to brain and heart. Thus cow urine protects heart and brain from damages caused by mental tension and protects these organs from disorders and diseases.<br />
7.Excessive use of any medicine leaves some residue in our body. This residue causes diseases. Cow urine destroys the poisonous effects of residues and makes body disease free.<br />
8.Electric currents (rays) which are present in the environment keep our body healthy. These rays in form of extremely small currents enter our body through Copper in our body. We get Copper from cow urine. To attract these electric waves is quality of Copper. Thus we become healthy.<br />
9.By acting against the voice of soul (immoral &amp; sinful action), the heart and mind become narrow minded. Due to this the functioning of body is effected and causes diseases. Cow urine provides mode of goodness. Thus helps us to perform correct activities by mind. Thus protects from diseases.<br />
10.In scriptures some diseases are said to be due to sinful actions performed in previous lives which we have to bear. Ganga resides in cow urine. Ganga is destroyer of sins, thus cow urine destroys such previous sins and so diseases are cured.<br />
11.The diseases caused by entrance of ghosts in body are cured by intake of cow urine. The Master of ghosts is Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva holds Ganga on his head. Ganga is in cow urine also. Thus by taking cow urine, the ghosts get to see Ganga over their master's head. So they are calmed and become peaceful. So they do not trouble the body. Thus, diseases caused by entrance of ghosts are also destroyed.<br />
12.By regularly taking cow urine before sickness, we get so much immunity that any attack of diseases is repulsed.<br />
13.Cow urine being miraculous poison destroyer, destroys the disease caused by poison (Toxin). Extremely dangerous chemicals are purified by cow urine. Cow urine provides immunity power by increasing resistance power against diseases in human body. It is anti toxin.<br />
14."Sarve rogaah hi mandagnau" All diseases begin with mandagni (Low fire i.e. digestive capacity). If fire is strong, diseases won't occur. Cow urine keeps the fire strong.<br />

Ludhiana | Thursday, Jul 30 2009 IST<br />
 <br />
 <br />
  <br />
<br />
Enthused by the birth of Punjab's first 'superior quality' female calf to a surrogate mother (cow) through the Embryo Transfer Technology (ETT), the state Government has decided to expand the project to get high-yielding milch animals. This 'elite' quality female calf was delivered on July 25 by an ordinary cow at the dairy of a farmer of Arraincham village in this district. In this case, embryos were harvested from an elite cow under field conditions having production potential of 5000 kg milk per lactation. This cow was bred with the imported semen of HF bull with Dam's yield of 13,000 Kg milk/ lactation. These embryos were collected and transferred non-surgically at the dairy farm of the farmer to the surrogate mother cow of ordinary breed. This is the first such elite quality calf produced through ETT in the state. The success of the experiment has lspurred the Punjab Government to provide more funds for the ETT project.<br />
<br />
This Project, already in operation in the Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding of Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU) here is a joint venture of GADVASU and state Animal Husbandry Department. Dr V K Taneja, Vice Chancellor, GADVASU, said that Embryo Transfer Technology could be of great help to multiply the elite dairy cattle especially males at a faster rate to match the milk production rather than multiplication and feeding of low and medium produced cattle since the cost of feeding of livestock has increased tremendously over the years.<br />
<br />
He also congratulated the ETT Project team comprising of Dr Joga Singh, Principal Investigator, Dr Narinder Singh, Dr Viay Singh Malik, Dr Gagndeep Kaushal on this achievement</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Cattle Breeding Farm in Thanjavur facing staff shortage  <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
THANJAVUR: Exotic Cattle Breeding Farm at Eachankottai in Thanjavur district is in the forefront of producing frozen semen straws for artificial insemination. <br />
<br />
Farm sources here said that during 2008-2009, the farm produced nearly eleven lakh straws and this year also equal number of straws will be produced. <br />
<br />
The farm is the only one having frozen semen facility for Jersey, Jersey cross and Murrah buffaloes. <br />
<br />
It has nearly 180 animals and is located on a sprawling 1,344 acres. <br />
<br />
The frozen semen straws are supplied to veterinary hospitals and sub-centres through Cattle Breeding and Fodder development scheme.<br />
<br />
Three farms <br />
<br />
<br />
It is one of the three such farms in the State, the other two being at Hosur and Uthagamandalam. <br />
<br />
While the Hosur farm is for Sindhi cows, the Uthagamandalam farm has Friesian breed (originating in The Netherlands). <br />
<br />
Training given <br />
<br />
<br />
The farm also provides training for veterinary assistant surgeons and livestock inspectors. <br />
<br />
Fodder cultivation and supply to farmers is another activity here.<br />
<br />
Fodder variety of CO4, CO3, Guinea, Cholam are cultivated and supplied to farmers at sixty paise per kg. <br />
<br />
Free fodder supply <br />
<br />
<br />
For farmers affected by Nisha cyclone in Cuddalore, Thanjavur and Nagapattinam districts, the farm supplied free fodder, the sources said. <br />
<br />
However the farm is facing paucity of staff. Only half the sanctioned number of staff are working.<br />
<br />
Filling of the vacancies will improve efficiency.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ludhiana, July 9<br />
The failure of the government to form a clear-cut policy to control/treat tuberculosis (TB) in animals has led to spread of the disease in humans. <br />
<br />
Non-pasteurised milk is the most common carrier of this infection as mycobacterium is the main cause of tuberculosis in bovine animals, which is transmitted to humans through infected milk and milk products.<br />
<br />
Medical experts and veterinarians have expressed concern over scenario in India, having one-fifth of the total tuberculosis cases in the world, causing death to 1,000 people every day.<br />
<br />
The experts also deliberated on the difficulties in the way of controlling the disease during a seminar organised by the Vets Club, Ludhiana, Indian Medical Association, College of Veterinary Science (GADVASU) and the Department of Animal Husbandry, Punjab, on the World Zoonosis Day. <br />
<br />
Pointing towards the gravity of situation, Dr JPS Gill, head, veterinary, at the department of Public Health, GADVASU, said a large number of cattle diagnosed positive for TB is not treated but is put on sale by the dairy farmers that endangers the lives of hundreds. The prolonged treatment of six-eight months is expensive for the small dairy farmers as there is no support from the state and the department, Dr Gill added. <br />
<br />
Director, Medical Education and Research, Dr Jaikishan said creating awareness about tuberculosis among dairy farmers was the key to control spread of the disease. “There should be a provision of free diagnosis followed by distribution of medicine to the dairy farmers with bovine suffering from tuberculosis,” he said. <br />
<br />
Even the directly observed treatment (DOT), under the revised national tuberculosis control programme (RNTCP) for humans, is futile till the time the government frames a clear-cut policy to curb tuberculosis in animals. <br />
<br />
As Dr SK Jindal, professor and head department of pulmonary medicine at PGIMER, Chandigarh, said: “Animals act as reservoirs of mycobacterium that causes TB and it is most common opportunistic infection amongst people living with HIV/AIDS.” <br />
<br />
Referring to the declaration made by the WHO to eradicate TB by 2050, Dr Jindal said a combined initiative should be taken by the departments, supported by a foolproof system of diagnosis and treatment in humans and animals. <br />
<br />
Former Vice-Chancellor, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Dr LS Chawla and Dr Simrat Sagar Singh, Dean, COVS, GADVASU, were also present.</div>
