Complementary medicine for animals

Although many references cover ethnoveterinary medicine in some form or another, none give it the intense and scientific scrutiny found in this book. With chapters on biological assays, efficacy testing, and phytochemistry, the book presents hard scientific information in accessible and readable language. It features a multidisciplinary approach to examining the role of herbal medicines in companion and pet animals. Tthe text also discusses access benefit sharing, the Convention of Biodiversity, intellectual property, and the skills required to navigate the minefield of bioprospecting.

Reviews for Ethnoveterinary Botanical Medicine: Herbal Medicines for Animal Health

"""The authorship is truly international making this the first global-scale compilation of traditional and modern knowledge of the use of plants for animal health. It is a ""must -have"" for all individuals serious about ethnopharmacology, veterinarians working with the studied populations, and anthropologists interested in getting a better idea about traditional approaches to animal care."" --Carolyn Wetzel, Smith College, in Plant Science Bulletin, No: 57(1) 2011 ""! the first, to my knowledge, to bring together information about ethnoveterinary medicines from a wide range of countries ! Dr. Katerere and Dr. Luseba have been fortunate enough to persuade leading authorities in his field to contribute chapters and I am sure it will prove to be a valuable reference source !"" --from the Foreword by Peter Houghton, Emeritus Professor in Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Division, King's College, London and editor of Journal of Ethnopharmacology"
