    SCREENING OF URINE SAMPLES OF BULLOCKS FOR INHIBITORS OF CRYSTALLIZATION AND STUDY OF EFFICACY OF CYSTONE TABLETS IN THE PREVENTION OF URINARY CALCULI
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) JOSHI, PRAVINCHANDRA K.; Patel, M. R.
    The present field trial was conducted in the animals belonging to village - Lasundra, Taluka - Kapadvanj, District - Kheda, where incidence of urolithiasis is prevelant. Urine samples collected from 100 bullocks were subjected to tests for presence or absence of inhibitors of crystallization of calcium oxalate. Out of these, crystallization on glass fibre was noticed in 11 bullocks within 3 hours which indicated that these animals were prone to stone formation. These potential stone-formers were given 20 tablets of Cystone daily orally for 15 days. Urine samples of these animals which were found positive during screening were further analysed for calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium levels and also for pH. A significant increase in calcium levels was evident in the urine samples of stone formers. The other three electrolytes Viz., Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium, did not show any significant variation.
