Ethnoveterinary deals with traditional knowledge used for the treatment of animals. This knowledge now prevails very few practioners, which need to be explored in our society. Present paper deals with ethnoveterinary practices recorded from folk people at Gwalior district, Madhya Pradesh used for the treatment of cattle, specially buffaloes, cows and goats. A total of 27 species were recorded to be used in curing various ailments of domestic animals. In due course of time due to increased mechanisation and modern therapy in various systems of treatment, knowledge and uses of wonder herbs have been forgotten at a large,, but still our traditional knowledge has survived with aboriginals (adhivasis), farmers and folk men. Knowledge about ethnoveterinary medicine is rather unsystematic and less formalized. It is usually transferred through generations by word of mouth rather than in writing. The present study is mainly aimed to collect this knowledge from the villagers and other veterinary persons and to document it so that the knowledge can be transferred to the future generations. Authors are thankful to all resource persons, dairy men, villagers and folk men who helped in providing the information. Traditional ethnoveterinary knowledge, lying with folk people is under serious threat because of current rapid changes in communities all over the world. Most of the communities now-a-days use the mixture of traditional, local herbal methods and modern practices for the treatment of their cattle. There is, therefore, urgent need of promoting and conserving the use of traditional ethnoveterinary medicines because they are less harmful, cheaper, easily available and easy to administer. The main hurdle in collecting information is that majority of folk people do not disclose about the treatment and name of plants. Thus, information on many ailments and their treatment remain unavailable. You can share this News URL on Facebook or your Social Media Site/ blog.
