| Abstract: | Pushkar animal fair is organized every year near
Ajmer, Rajasthan in the month of Kartik (October
or November). The fair attracts people not only from India but also 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
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 uses which are used to treat 30 diseases of animals. |
