... Raikwar and Maurya (2015) pointed out that availability and accessibility of such products at little or no cost are the major selling points for EVM to poor rural communities. In addition, EVM has gained popularity in recent times, in the face of an increasing demand for http organically raised meat traceable to farms of origin; and the rise of a modern-day consumer willing to pay a higher premium for meat arising from organic farms that strictly adhere to animal welfare guidelines ( Lans et al., 2012;Adedeji et al., 2013;Mayer et al., 2014). There has been an interesting explosion of publications in the last decade from various sub regions of the world including North America ( Lans et al., 2012), Australia ( Vogl et al., 2016), China (Shen et al., 2010), Europe (Mayer, 2014;Bartha et al., 2015) the Indian subcontinent ( Vijayagiri et al., 2012;Mamidala, 2013;Raikwar and Maurya, 2015;Ahmad et al., 2016;Usha et al., 2016) and Africa (McGaw and Eloff, 2008;Marandure, 2016;Caudell et al., 2017;Teklehaymanot, 2017) on EVM. ...

Literature from India outnumbers that arising from any other part of the world, an indication of the strength of the link between India's tribal communities and nature (Paindla et al., 2009). ...
... However, it is disappointing to note that, of the recent publications, only a few demonstrate the efficacy of EVM ( Luseba et al., 2007;Ndhlala et al., 2009;Adamu et al., 2014;Sserunkuma et al., 2017). The majority of recent publications are EVM surveys documenting which diseases are treated by which plants ( McGaw and Eloff, 2008;Shen et al., 2010;Lans et al., 2012;Vijayagiri et al., 2012;Mamidala, 2013;Mayer, 2014;Bartha et al., 2015;Raikwar and Maurya, 2015;Ahmad, et al., 2016;Marandure, 2016;Usha et al., 2016;Vogl et al., 2016;Caudell et al., 2017;Teklehaymanot, 2017) Studies in Africa and elsewhere indicated inadequate veterinary services and lack of low cost alternative technologies as impediments in overcoming livestock diseases (Getachew et al., 2015;Raikwar and Maurya, 2015;Shamim et al., 2015). There is a need to look for environment-friendly technologies in support of livestock welfare and health. ...
Chitura et al.: Use of medicinal plants by livestock farmers in a local municipality in Vhembe District, South Africa-6589-APPLIED ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 16(5):6589-6605. Abstract. Respondents (n = 180) from Mutale municipality, Limpopo Province, South Africa, were interviewed so as to assess the factors affecting the use of medicinal herbs in treatment of livestock diseases. A significantly greater proportion of males (79.8%) than females (52.7%) preferred a combination of treatment methods (P < 0.05). A significantly greater proportion of females (36.8%) than males (10.6%) preferred using medicinal herbs only (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the proportions of males and females using conventional drugs only (P > 0.05). Overall, a significantly greater proportion of respondents between 20-40years old (83.1%) preferred to use a combination of treatment methods (P < 0.05). A significantly greater proportion of the unschooled respondents (46.6%) preferred to use medicinal herbs only (P < 0.05). A significantly greater proportion of the tertiary-schooled respondents (50%), however, preferred to use conventional drugs only (P < 0.05). Parts from Cassia abbreviata and Cissus quadrangularis were the preferred oral treatments for retained placenta, Pterocarpus angolensis and Combretum collinum were the preferred oral treatments for constipation in cattle. Cissus quadrangularis, Dichrostachys cinerea and Ximenia americana were preferred for topical treatment of wounds, Synadenium cupulare for arthritis, Ziziphus mucronata for mastitis, Maytanus eduncularis for fractures and Gossypium herbaceum for blindness in cattle, sheep and goats.
