Livestock raisers and healers throughout the world have traditional
ways of classifying and preventing or treating common animal
diseases. Many of their "ethnoveterinary" practices offer viable
alternatives to conventional Western-style veterinary medicine -
especially where the latter is unavailable, unaffordable,
unreliable, or inappropriate. This highly interdisciplinary and
international volume provides a critico-analytic overview over the
many facets and findings of ethnoveterinary research and
development. From sociocultural, political-economic, and
environmental as well as biomedical viewpoints, the book presents
reviews and case studies of traditional veterinary knowledge and
practice, along with historical perspectives, theoretical
discussions and research methodologies. At a larger level, the
anthology exemplifies the many potential benefits, for people
everywhere, of systematically studying and building upon such rich
bodies of "ethnoscience" as that embodied in local/traditional
veterinary medicine.
