“…Women are dedicated observers and closely linked and involved in livestock management activities due to their association with cleaning, feeding, milking, care of new born and sick animals and they are often the first to notice signs of ill health in animals. Some of the medicinal plant species mentioned in this study are also documented by the previous researchers in different parts of India including Odisha [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. An analysis of the growth life forms/habits of plants used by traditional animal healthcare providers in livestock health management in Kendrapara district revealed that herbs constitute the largest category of the total recorded plant species.…”

The objective of this work was to register and document the traditional knowledge of plant resources used in ethnoveterinary practices in Kendrapara district of Odisha, India. Investigation was carried out in the interior of the district, to explore the therapeutic uses of plants by local inhabitants. Information was gathered from traditional healers, elderly people and farmers by using participant observation, open-ended conversations and semi-structured questionnaires. Plants used as veterinary medicines were collected and identified by botanical classification. Fifty five plant species, distributed among 34 families, were indicated for 27 different medicinal uses. The family Solanaceae had the largest number of reported species followed by Mimosaceae, Fabaceae and Apocynaceae. Prominent diseases treated by plant remedies were wounds, diarrhea, constipation, snake bite, skin ailments and rheumatism. Leaves were more commonly utilized for the preparation of ethnoveterinary medicine than other plant parts. Documentation of traditional knowledge related ethnoveterinary information and identification of potential species for prioritization of conservation through sustainable management is essential for the benefit of future generations. The present study contributed to the construction of an inventory of ethnoveterinary plants, which might provides a better database for future scientific validation studies.

“…The current findings are aligned with the various studies conducted in other parts of India on various ethnic groups [ 14 , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , 24 , 26 ]. Plants like Zingiber officinal , Azadiracca indica , Allium sativum , Acorus calamus , Curcuma longa , Andrographis paniculata , etc., used by Khasi people for the treatment of the livestock were similarly found to be used by other ethnic people of the country [ [133] , [134] , [135] , [136] , [137] , [138] ], which signifies the recognition of these species as medicinal importance for noble drug findings [ 134 , 139 ]. The paste and powder are the most common mode of application of herbal medicines taken either orally or externally as seen in the present study have a similar finding cited in the literature as well [ 14 , 138 , 140 , 141 ].…”
