Plants Used in Animal Care: The Anthra Collective

Addressed to all these interested in and concerned with the use of plants in veterinary and human health care—this book has its roots in over a decade of research work comprising intensive field work and extensive literature survey by a team of dedicated researchers. A highly useful reference work on ethno-veterinary healing practices, supplemented with modern scientific and Ayurvedic reportage, the book documents in an alphabetic order over 375 medicinal and fodder plant varieties. The description for each plant species includes: scientific and common names, name of the family, plant description, phenology, source, distribution, propagation, biological properties, veterinary uses, and references for human use. A list of references for further reading and a set of indexes to plant names, synonyms, veterinary uses, and fodder use is appended to the text.
