Abstract---Purpose: Bovine Colostrum is the first milk, a mammary
secretion produced by all cows for their babies during the first 24–48
hours after birth. Bovine Colostrum contains immunoglobulins and
lactoferrin that help in bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects against
microorganisms. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy
of bovine colostrum at different concentrations in patients suffering
from chronic periodontitis. Methodology: Plaque and calculus samples
were obtained from 15 patients aging from 30 - 60 years. The collected
samples were then poured on agar plates and different strains of
Gram -ve bacteria were obtained. The streak plate method was
adopted. For the anti-microbial susceptibility test, a solution of Bovine
Colostrum Powder was prepared in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at
various concentrations (50 µg/ml, 100 µg/ml, and 200 µg/ml). Result:
A minimal zone of inhibition was seen at 50 µg/ml with a mean of 3.8.
Proper inhibition zones were seen in 100 µg/ml and 200 µg/ml with
