Investigations on production of cow urine distillate using solar distillation system for cow shelter livelihoods

Abstract

Finance is the most pressing problem for cow shed managers and cow owners. Despite government intentions and donor money, cow owners and cow shed operators confront several challenges while managing cows in the shelters. Cows in shelters produce less milk but more urine, which may be used to generate income. Farmers and cow shelter operators may distil cow urine and sell it for medication and fertiliser. Considering this, the authors designed and tested a cost-effective, novel solar thermal hydrodistillation system for cow urine distillation. In addition, the effectiveness of extracted cow urine distillate was also studied. The distillate's most significant ingredient was phosphonic acid (81.1 %). It is critical antiviral medication cures cancer, HIV, and hepatitis B in prodrug formulations. Solar-powered cow urine distillate is odourless and drinkable without dilution. This distillate had 0.88 % ammonia and 2.25 % nitrogen, which was 80 % less than the market-based cow urine distillate. This investigation also showed that cow-urine distillate is anxiolytic and anti-depressant. A dosage of 40 % cow urine distillate is helpful in diabetes management. Cancer cells are reduced when cow urine distillate dose exceeds 10 %. It is clear that the solar thermal hydrodistillation system for cow urine distillation is helpful to cow owners and cow shed managers. Prepared cow urine distillate is useful for treating many life-threatening diseases.
