Abstract

Traditionally, the practice of using herbal medicines for diseases of livestock and poultry has given numerous benefits to the farmers. Since poultry are reared intensively, a high incidence of diseases poses a big threat to small-scale poultry production systems. The major poultry diseases prevalent among chicken include Avian influenza, Marek's disease, Coccidiosis, Fowl typhoid, Ranikhet disease and Chronic respiratory disease. In order to control the disease occurrence and prevent huge mortality, farmers are opening up to alternatives such as ethno veterinary medicine as they provide a substitute to newer expensive poultry drugs.
