This is an excellent review of various drugs that are either discovered in animal fluids (saliva, venom, urine,..) or still cultured in their bodies [3] The Indian left wing's fascination with Cow Urine far outdoes any religious Hindu's veneration for it. Both Hindu and Buddhist scriptures venerate the 5 parts of a cow for religious purposes. That aside traditional cultures the world over - China, Indian, Africa (Nigeria) use the urine (and feces) of various animals as primordial pharmaceutical factories since they lacked the machinery of modern chemistry and drug synthesis. Materia Medica, catalog of plants and animal matter, of ancient medical systems like Ayurveda and TCM contained detailed qualities of the therapeutic properties of the urine of various animals. Even modern medicine has derived drugs like Urokinase from human urine (disgusting) and Premarin from pregnant mare's urine. Urokinase is now made from renal cells cultured in bioreactors but Premarin is still made from mare's urine. Peta is not a fan [2]. Other Animal fluids, horseshoe crab blood famously comes to mind for manufacture of vaccines, are used throughout pharma. See [3] below. Female fertility drugs were first synthesized from the Urine of menopausal nuns [1]. Today the hormone is synthesized in the lab. Generally speaking, it would be bizarre to dismiss the animal (or human) body as a source of pharmaceutical compounds because you don't agree with a sect or religion that worships that animal.
