| Abstract: |
Livestock is an important component of
agriculture in India.
In Bundelkhand region of Central India,
animals are reared for milk, manure, draft and as wealth. The traditional
practices in animal feeding and healthcare are area specific and depend upon
the locally available bioresources. In the study, efforts have been made to
evaluate the livestock feeding calendar and traditional healthcare practices by
participatory rural appraisal, survey and focused group discussion. The fodder
and feed resources being used in the area are poor in quality and not easily
available. The plant and raw material used in disease control were found to
have strong scientific validation. This further justifies the importance of
traditional practices. The blending of traditional knowledge with modern system
and improved technologies is needed for wider acceptability and adaptability by
farmers.
