| Abstract: | The people residing in Darma valley known as Darmi or Darmi Bhotiyas have great
wisdom of traditional knowledge about the animal husbandry and veterinary
practices. They cure their animals with the help of surrounding natural
resources such as plants, animals, minerals, etc. They produce traditionally
hybrids of yak and local cow. However, these practices are in danger of
extinction because of the rapid modernization. The paper documents the
traditional veterinary practices and animal husbandry of Darmies of Pithoragarh
district of Uttanachal. |
