Indigenous Animal Husbandry Technical Knowledge of Traditional Healers.

      Аннотация: Indigenous technical knowledge is a systematic body of knowledge and practice acquired by the local people through accumulation of their own and ancestral experiences, formal and informal experiments and intimate understanding of the environment in a given culture. The indigenous knowledge is dynamic and it changes through creativity, innovativeness as well as through contact with other knowledge systems. Indigenous animal husbandry technical knowledge is considered as old as domestication of various livestock species. Unfortunately, these practices which are in vogue throughout the rural India are little documented and there is danger of extinction of this knowledge. Thus it has become imperative to collect and document these practices. So this study was taken up.
