Abstract
The present study deals with the plants used to treat common diseases in cattle and pet animals in
the tribal belts of Maharashtra state, India. For the purpose of the ethnoveterinary practices, 198
plant species belonging to 79 families were identified. The present study reveals that the leaves
constituted the major portion of plant parts used (3
0.158%), followed by root (15.079%) and
bark (13.09%). The findings of the present study show considerable potential for further
scientific research on these plant species, which can lead to development of cheaper and more
efficacious drugs for future use
not only to cattle but also can be useful to human too
