Ethnoveterinary Medicine: In Present Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In India, ethno-veterinary practices were in vogue since time immemorial. Ethnoveterinary medicine deals with people’s knowledge, skills, methods, practices and beliefs about the care of their animals. In recent years, interests in ethno-veterinary investigations have been increased enormously on national and international level. Ancient ethnoveterinary literature suggests that the tribal, non-tribal and rural population has been using wild ethnoflora since long ago for curing various diseases and disorders in the pet/domesticated animals. All these plants should be screened scientifically in order to investigate newer sources of ethno-veterinary drugs and medicines. The ethnomedicinal plants need further intensive investigation for their pharmacological activity and proper documentation of the same for the betterment of animal health in the future.
