Ethno veterinary medicine (EVM) covers people’s knowledge, skills, methods, practices and belief about the care of their animal. People have easy access to modern veterinary facilities but still traditional remedies and traditional healers are their first choice. Ethno veterinary users (animal owners) and ethno veterinary practitioners have a strong perception over the effectiveness of these remedies. Moreover, they reported that allopathic treatment is expensive and sometimes associated with side effects. The present study was conducted in Bikaner and Jodhpur districts of Rajasthan in order to document the ethno veterinary practices followed by livestock owners. A total of 120 livestock owners were selected as respondent from 12 selected villages of 4 tehsils of the districts.
