Description Ethnoveterinary of cattle
The aim of the present study was to document ethnoveterinary plants and their formulation techniques in an
unexplored region of India and to select candidate medicinal plants with high consensus factor and fidelity value
for further in vitro investigation. Informants (55) were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaire. A total of
50 plants belonging to 35 families were used to treat cattle ailments in study area. Mostly whole plant and leaves
(36 and 30%) were used in recipes formulation mostly in the form of decoction. Almost all plant parts were being
used for medicinal purposes but whole plant (36%) was the most frequently used plant part followed by leaves
(30%) and roots, fruits, seeds and others (8% each), respectively. Local farmers used these ethnomedicines to treat
their cow. Gastrointestinal infections were found more common and majority of the plants were used against cow
ailments. Recovery time of majority of the recipes was three to four days. Aged farmers and nomads had more
traditional knowledge as compared to younger ones. Plants with high plants values could be further investigated in
vitro for the search of some novel bioactive compounds and young generation should be educated regarding
ethnoveterinary practices.
