LEADIN
A veterinary university in India is marketing bottled cow urine as both a bio-fertiliser and bio-pesticide.
The product is being targeted at the organic sector where farmers are looking for alternatives to chemical fertilisers.
STORYLINE:
Millions of India's Hindus revere the cow as a holy animal.
Cow milk and its products are widely used during religious rituals.
The rearing of cows has always been central to farming in the southern Indian state of Kerala, but cows in this predominantly agrarian state are no longer seen as just a source of milk.
By-products like cow urine and dung are increasingly being used to boost agriculture.
Faced with high input costs, dwindling farmland and climate change, farmers in the Wayanad district have taken to organic farming by using cow urine and cow dung instead of chemical fertilisers.
The cow urine is collected, mixed with other natural ingredients like cow dung and used as a fertiliser.
