N1  - Ayurveda literally meaning the science of life is a comprehensive system of health care great antiquity, based on experiential knowledge ad down with compendia of Indian wisdom called Vedas, which are believed to be documented around 6000 years back. Rigveda and Atharvaveda are replete with information on health and maladies and their management with natural modes and sodalities. The knowledge expanded with laying down of fundamentals and concepts of Ayurveda and systematization in classical texts like Charak Samhita, Sushruta scientific inputs that has gone into the evolution of its principles, theories and guidelines of healthy living and disease management. Considering health of an individual as dynamic integration of environment, body, mind and spirit, Ayurveda lays great emphasis on preservation and promotion of health and preventing the occurrence of disease. Besides, it advocates employing holistic approach to understand all aspects of human life including diagnosis and management of disease. 
The compilation in this book is useful for the veterinary professionals who are professed enough to disseminate this knowledge in the local language to the farmers who have forgotten the ethnic practices. The appendix contains information on further reading, a list of useful medicinal plants and diseases. Readers will find examples of plants and materials used in Ethnoveterinary practices, formulations, as well as the dosages and treatments for a selected number of cattle/buffalo diseases. The examples illustrate well that how the healers have used locally-available substances to combat animal diseases and other adverse conditions for centuries. The book will be equally useful for researchers also who are involved in research related to veterinary practices.
