3rd International Seminar on Veterinary Ayurveda In 8th World Ayurveda Congress

Date: 17 December 2018
Venue: National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), Anand Veterinary Ayurveda

The domestication of livestock is integral part of any civilization. Looking after the health of the animal is as old as domestication. There are references by the ancient Egyptians using around 250 medicinal plants and 120 mineral salts for management of animal diseases. One of the world’s richest and most efficient ethnoveterinary health tradition exists in the villages of India. Ethno-veterinary Medicine (EVM) in India has a documented history of around 5000 years. There exists codified veterinary knowledge in the form of medical texts, manuscripts on various aspects of veterinary care such as health management of cattle, horses, birds and elephants. The codified medical traditions share a similar worldview as that of the oral folk traditions, but they also contain sophisticated clinical theory apart from practical therapies. This knowledge is available in the form of manuscripts called Veterinary Ayurveda, viz Mrugayurveda (Ayurveda for Animals), Pashupakshishastra (Ayurveda for birds), Hasthyayurveda (Ayurveda for elephants), Ashwayurveda (Ayurveda for horses) etc. Understanding the etiopathogenesis and its management of animal diseases through Ayurveda is need of the day.
