Abstract
The wound healing activity of cow urine was
studied in Wistar albino rats. The efficacy of
wound healing property was evaluated by excision
wound model. The parameter studied was the rate of
wound contraction. The studies on excision wound
healing revealed that all the groups showed
decreased wound area from day to day. On day 4th,
the external application of urine showed
significant increase in wound healing in male and
female rats compared to all other groups. However,
on 14th post wounding day, Group I and VIII
animals showed 0 % and 0.40.4 % of healing was
left, which may be due to normal immunity of the
animals. Where as nitrofurazone treated animals
showed 0 % and 0.50.3 % healing .The study
revealed that the cow urine on external
application to the wound, hastened the wound
healing process.
