Abstract

Objective: An ethno botanical study was conducted among the various tribal communities of central Indian states (Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh) to document their ethno veterinary knowledge and practices prevalent among them since times immemorial. Material and methods: First hand information on ethno veterinary uses of plants was recorded through interviewing of old and experienced local veterinary doctors of different tribal groups. Result and discussion: During the study it was observed that they utilize about 35 plant species belonging to 22 families for treatment of various ailments and diseases of their domestic animals. The recorded uses were compared with published literature and found that uses of 15 plants are new and uses of other plants are found similar but they are used by different tribal groups of different states.
