Description This study aimed to investigate the outbreak of sheep pox in an organized sheep farm in the Hosur District of Tamil Nadu and to assess the efficacy of Ethno Veterinary Medicine in the treatment and control of the disease during July 2021 and November 2021. Out of 376 animals, 93 were affected (24.73 %) and 72 died (Mortality 77.41 %) during the first investigation. Based on history, clinical examination and necropsy findings clinically the flock was diagnosed to have sheep pox and PCR testing helped to confirm the diagnosis. Along with the symptomatic and supportive therapy, Ethno Veterinary Medication was followed for the affected animals. On the second investigation of the herd, out of 138 animals, 55 animals recovered from the previous sheep pox infection without any mortality.  Along with the symptomatic line of treatment, Ethno-Veterinary medicine helped in the speedy recovery of ailing animals and the reduction of mortality percentage.
