The present study was undertaken with the objective of studying the ethno-veterinary practices for gynecological & surgical ailments followed by tribes of Banswara district of Rajasthan. One hundred and twenty tribal livestock owners were selected from eight villages of two tehsils to document different ethno-veterinary practices. Information were obtained through personal observation, consultation with traditional healers, tribal family members having ethno knowledge and engaged with animal treatment, detailed discussion with key informants, aged persons and housewives etc. It was found that rural inhabitants of study villages still had a traditional way of living though the impact of urbanization was also visible in material culture and other aspects of life. Villagers invariably resorted to ethno-veterinary practices to get rid of common ailments of their livestock at the first by themselves followed by fellow villagers having better knowledge in those practices. Few well recognized ethno-veterinarians were found across the study villages. An inventory of 17 ethno-veterinary practices was prepared in 8 different ailments. These practices were followed in an-estrous, prolapse, retained placenta, wounds, maggot wound, fracture, shoulder joint dislocation, tail gangrene (Kaasbi) etc. in cattle, buffalo and goat of the study area
