dc.description.abstractThe tribal dairy farmers of Idukki district of Kerala state (southern India) are a treasure of traditional knowledge about veterinary practices. Since time immemorial, these communities have tapped into their own system of herbal veterinary practices to treat domestic animals and livestock. The present study was undertaken with the objective of inventorying and field validation of the indigenous veterinary practices adopted by the tribal dairy owners of Idukki. A total of 64 indigenous preparations used in the treatment of different diseases and disorders were recorded. On field validation by veterinarians, 45 of these treatments/ practices received a validity score above 60. The study indicated wide usage and applicability of indigenous technical knowledge in the dairy farming practices in the study area.en_US
