Fresh cow urine may contain harmful bacteria, and is unsuitable for direct human consumption. This is revealed in a research carried out by Bareilly-based ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI). The research also added that the urine of buffalo was more effective on certain bacteria though. Bhoj Raj Singh and three PhD students of the country's premier animal research body conducted the study on healthy cows and bulls' urine samples. They discovered that the samples contained a minimum of 14 harmful bacteria types, with the most commonly found being Escherichia coli, which can cause stomach infections.Singh, who heads the department of epidemiology at the institute, told TOI: "Statistical analysis of 73 urine samples of cow, buffaloes and humans suggest that antibacterial activity in buffalo urine was far more superior than cows. Urine of buffalo was significantly more effective on bacteria like S Epidermidis and E Rhapontici."
