Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
The importance of a complementary approach to animal health is highlighted in this
book, with core themes encompassing reviews of traditional veterinary medicine for
common diseases afflicting livestock, as well as local practices in different areas
of the world. The book includes chapters on ethnoveterinary medicine used to prevent
and treat ticks and tick-borne diseases, infectious diseases and parasites. Ethnoveterinary
practices in parts of the world which have not been comprehensively reviewed before
are highlighted, including Estonia, Belarus and the Maghreb - the north-western tip
of Africa. A fascinating account of African ethnoveterinary medicine and traditional
husbandry practices is provided by a veteran in the field with a wealth of practical
experience in the area. Neglected areas of research involve the relationship of ethnoveterinary
medicine with environmental, ethical, cultural and gender aspects, and leading experts
explore these issues. The book is intended to provide an informative compilation of
current research and future prospects in ethnoveterinary medicine, which hopes to
inform and encourage investigations in new directions. Sustainable development requires
a concerted effort to combine indigenous knowledge systems with scientific research
to improve animal health. This is the case not only in rural areas where access to
orthodox veterinary health care may be limited, but also against the backdrop of antibiotic
resistance and increased demand for alternative and complementary therapies to enhance
the health of both production and companion animals. Students, academics and veterinary
professionals will find this book a useful addition to knowledge on present and future
aspects of ethnoveterinary research
