Ethno-veterinary methods used by the poultry producers in the Kymore Plateau region of Madhya Pradesh
The Journal of Phytopharmacology(2022)
Abstract
A study was conducted to know about the ethno-veterinary methods used by poultry producers (commercial and backyard) in the Kymore Plateau region of Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district. A prestructured questionnaire was developed for this purpose and 132 poultry farmers from the Shahpura, Kundam, Patan, and Jabalpur blocks of the Jabalpur district were interviewed directly. Direct perception, town walks, meeting passers-by, group meetings and gatherings with critical sources were also used to obtain information (i.e., customary pioneers, augmentation specialists and executives of village improvement advisory groups). The interviews were conducted in Hindi, the local language. Herbs/plants/parts of plants such as turmeric, garlic, guava, custard apple, ginger, pomegranate, sahjan, bamboo, and tobacco are used by poultry farmers for the treatment of different diseases, according to ethno-veterinary information and traditional managemental practice. The main constraints of poultry producers in the research study areas were poor disease prevention, control, and lack of disease awareness and management abilities. Programs should be designed in such a way that research and extension activities are focused on identified constraints. Aside from that, farmer skill development through training and farm service enhancement are critical. However, further research, documentation, and validation are required before these ethno-veterinary methods can be implemented on a large scale.
