Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious public health concern worldwide. The European Union requires a reduction in the use of antibiotics by 50% by 2030, with separate regulations on organic production that give preference to homeopathy and phytotherapy in organic farms before the use of conventional medicines (including antibiotics). We have therefore designed a two-phased project whose overarching aim is to investigate the potential role of homeopathic medicinal products (HMPs) in combating AMR in turkeys (the HOMAMR project): a two-cohort feasibility study using turkey-farm data that have been collected and analyzed retrospectively, followed by a prospective two-cohort study in turkey farms that would examine the impact of HMPs on changing antibiotic use. Objective The objective of this paper is to describe the protocol for the first phase of HOMAMR, which is a study under field conditions to assess the feasibility of collecting data retrospectively about turkeys that have been managed conventionally only or with HMPs. Methods Surveys performed on farms in Germany and Austria, including interviews with consenting farmers, will determine the feasibility of comparing retrospectively gathered data on antibiotic use and performance/production data in two cohorts of turkeys: (1) homeopathic treatment with conventional care (antibiotics) added if necessary or (2) conventional care (antibiotics) only. Co-primary outcomes to be studied are the amount of antimicrobial use and production period-related mortality. In addition, other production/performance parameters will be compared between the two treated cohorts. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first feasibility study on the treatment of turkeys using homeopathy, and whose retrospectively obtained data will inform a prospective study that would examine the impact of HMPs on antibiotic use in commercial turkey raising, fattening and breeding production.

Ethnoveterinary medicine is booming in the subcontinent due to the emergence of anti-microbial resistance amongst microorganisms and its trifling side effects. Common livestock diseases like Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), mastitis, mange, Black Quarter (BQ) are difficult to cure because of AMR. Various plant parts like leaves, roots, and flower extract have antibacterial properties, which can be used effectively in treating diseases and combat AMR. Herbal preparations such as extracts, decoctions, paste, and mixtures are used widely. Ethnopharmacology involves the active components of plant extracts, their action, composition and effect on various health conditions. Plants like Cocos nucifera, Aloe barbadensis and Musa paradisiaca are widely used in India to treat bacterial, viral, parasitic, as well as fungal infections. These therapies are cost-effective and have high reliability. This review is about the usage of ethnoveterinary practice in diverse parts of India by using their active components with respect to antimicrobial properties

“…(Ajay et al, 2017). In veterinary practice the bark and fruits of C. fistula are used traditionally in the treatment of FMD, haemorrhagic septicaemia, fever, ephemeral fever, bloat, jaundice and arthritis (Nair et al, 2017). C. fistula contains various types of constituents such as rhein, triterpenes, sugar and potassium.…”

Background: The antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of two concentrations (100 and 200 mg/kg) of ethanolic extract of leaf, bark, flower and fruit pulp of C. fistula were determined in male wistar albino rats. Methods: Antipyretic activity was assessed by E. coli endotoxin induced pyrexia. Analgesic activity was assessed by hot plate, tail immersion and acetic acid induced writhing test. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by carrageenan-induced rat paw edema assay. Result: Significant (p less than 0.05) antipyretic activity was exhibited from 2h onwards by bark extract @ 200 mg/kg and from 3h onwards by bark extract @100 mg/kg and leaves extract @ 200mg/kg as compared to control group. Significant (p less than 0.05) analgesic activity was shown by extract of bark @ 200 mg/kg as it is evident by increase in reflex time in hot plate (90,120,180 min), tail immersion test (120,180 min) and inhibition of writhing (32.12%). Significant (p less than 0.05) anti-inflammatory activity was exhibited from 3h post administration by bark @ 200 and leaves @ 100 and 200 mg/kg.
