“…It has been said that ethnoveterinary practices can be regarded as sustainable veterinary medicine (Lin et al, 2003). However, in our study area, many farmers are afraid of using traditional medicine for more serious conditions due to government sanitary control, which sometimes imposes the use of synthetic drugs.…”

“…In modern veterinary medicine, disease prevention at herd level has become increasingly important in replacing individual animal medicine (Lin et al, 2003;Derks et al, 2013). This shift from treating individuals towards prevention involves the implementation of biosecurity, which includes all measures preventing pathogens from entering a herd (i.e.…”

BackgroundThe Suleiman mountainous region is an important cradle of animal domestication and the habitat of many indigenous livestock breeds. The dromedary camel is a highly appreciated and valued animal and represents an important genetic resource. Camel herders, living in remote areas, have developed their own ways to treat diseases in camels, based on a long time of experience.MethodsInformation about the diseases and the ethnoveterinary practices performed was collected from a total of 90 herders and healers by interviews and participant observations.ResultsThe respondents classified the diseased in major and minor fractions. Clinical signs were given in detail. Mange followed by trypanosomosis and orf were considered the most prevalent diseases, and also caused the greatest economic losses. Orf was regarded the most complex disease. The season was considered to have great influence on the occurrence of the diseases. A variety of different treatments were described, such as medicinal plants, cauterization, odorant/fly repellents, pesticides, larvicides, cold drink, yogurt and supportive therapy (hot food, hot drink).ConclusionsThere is paramount need to document and validate the indigenous knowledge about animal agriculture in general and ethnoveterinary practices in particular. This knowledge is rapidly disappearing and represents a cultural heritage as well as a valuable resource for attaining food security and sovereignty.
