Plain-English summary
In India, there is a long-standing tradition of veterinary care that dates back thousands of years, rooted in a system called Ayurveda, which focuses on health and longevity. This ancient practice includes a wealth of specialized knowledge on how to prevent and treat animal diseases, even before modern veterinary medicine became available. Many of these traditional treatments are still used today, although they may not be widely recognized outside of India.
Abstract
A tradition of veterinary therapy developed very early in India and this has survived to the present time. Based on the Ayurveda ('knowledge concerning longevity'), a medical art which had its roots in the literature of the Veda (1500-1000 BC), Indian veterinary medicine is known for its specialised literature, which provides information on ancient methods of preventing and treating diseases of animals before the advent of modern medicine. Some of these treatments, little known outside India, are still practised today.
