    SCREENING OF BOVINE URINE FOR INHIBITORS OF CRYSTALLIZATION A SURVEY WORK
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) BAROT, JAYENDRASINH D.; Mannari, M. N.
    The present study was conducted in the animals belonging to 8 villages of 3 different districts with known incidence of urolithiasis. From these villages 552 urine samples were subjected to the test for presence or absence of inhibitors of crystallization of calcium oxalate. Out of these, crystallization on glass fibre was noticed in 73 animals from 1 to 3 hours which indicated that these animals were prone to stone formation. Out of these, 69 were bullocks and 9 buffaloes, Amongst 13 bullocks which had a definite known history of urolithiasis, 12 proved to be positive for stone formation. Fifty-four urine samples of those animals which were found positive during screening, were further analysed quantitatively for calcium, magnesium and sodium levels. A similar number of urine samples from non-stone-formers were also subjected to above analysis to know the significant difference. A significant increase in calcium levels was evident in the urine of stone-formers. The other two electrolytes did not show any significant variations. The analysis of fodder fed to these animals did not show any significant relation between the feeding practices and stone formation. However, a definite association existed between the type of soil and stone formation, with particular reference to the calcium levels in the soil. The analysis of water from all the sources available to these animals did not show any variation in their different constituents indicating that the water did not play any major role in causing stone formation.
