An innovative and affordable initiative has emerged from the Bahraich district for agriculturalists struggling with rising farming expenses. A progressive farmer in the region has figured out a remarkably simple way to capture livestock urine without any expensive machinery. This indigenous setup not only makes optimal use of available resources but also significantly cuts down the cost required for natural farming.
How the Setup Works Inside the Animal Shed
New and cost-effective techniques for agricultural practices are increasingly being adopted across rural areas. Along these lines, Triloki has set up a small arrangement inside his cattle shed. He installed a three to four-foot-long pipe right near the spot where the animal is tied, with its other end connected to a five-liter plastic container placed on the ground. Whenever the livestock urinates, the liquid flows directly through the pipe and gets safely collected inside that container.
Collecting Five Liters of Cattle Urine Daily
According to Triloki, this straightforward arrangement yields about five liters of cattle urine for him every day. He utilizes this gathered urine to prepare jeevamrut, ghanjeevamrut, decoctions, and organic manure for his fields. Previously, livestock urine would flow openly and go waste, but this small technological tweak has completely prevented that wastage.
Inspiration From YouTube and a Message for Others
Triloki shares that he spotted this technique on YouTube roughly four to five years ago, after which he decided to test it out in his own animal shelter. At present, he owns a total of two cattle, including one cow and a native female calf. He believes that if other livestock owners and fellow farmers in the area adopt such small techniques, a massive reduction can be brought into farming costs. Triloki claims that using this method with just a single cow, organic and natural farming can easily be carried out across about ten to fifteen bighas of land.
