animal fair is organized every year near Ajmer,
Rajasthan in the month of Kartik (October
or November), beginning on 8th day of lunar calendar and continues

from all over the world as a tourist destination. This is one of the largest
animal fair, where livestock owners of Rajasthan bring their animals to sell
and also purchase animals. During the festival, interviews with knowledgeable
livestock owners were conducted to document the use of herbs for the treatment
of ailments of animals. The study revealed 43 plant species of ethnoveterinary medicinal
