Abstract

This paper deals with the preparation of panchakavya an indigenous formulation consisting of products from cow viz., dung, urine, milk, curd and ghee and its effect on promotion of growth in crossbred pigs. Panchakavya was found to have growth promoting properties especially in animals with more native germplasm.
