This study presents the determination of proximate composition, amino acids, fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols, glucosinolate and phenolic content in extracts obtained from different aerial parts of C. decidua, as well as their antidiabetic and antioxidant activity.

Symptoms of anuria or retention of urine condition in bullock are inflamed urethra, severe pain and disinterest in feeds and fluids. The animal prefers to lie prostrate in one place. Its hair remain raised and working efficiency is affected, hence loss to the farmer. For curing this condition, roots of caper plant (Capparis decidua) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) are crushed to obtain the extract. Then powdered black cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds are added to the juice-extract and the mixture is administered to the animal once daily for two days. This gives relief to the bullock from anuria. There is no any side effect of this traditional medicine. |
