in Profitable Animal Farming
by
Dr. Qazi Mudasir
(AHD- SRINAGAR)

2. Introduction
• Medicines derived/extracted from herbs.
• Available in the form of tablets, capsules,
powders, extracts etc.

3. • Are “natural” and are usually safe.
• The study of such herbs used for medicinal
purposes is known as “ Herbalism/Herbalogy”

4. • Long back herbal medicines have been used
by humans.
• Archaeological evidence: indicates that herbal
medicines have been used some 60,000 years
ago.

5. In wild…….(how animals feel better?)
• As a common rule in jungles, sick animals
change their food preferences to nibble at
bitter herbs that they normally reject.
• This is because of their anti microbial, anti
viral, and antifungal actions.

6. An example…..
• Gorillas in jungles take 90 % of their diet from
the fruits of “Aframomum melegueta ”

7. • Its a relative of ginger plant having potent
antimicrobial action and also protects them
from cardiomyopathy.

8. • In 2007 (Dybas and Ruskin) studied the cause
of death in captive Gorillas in Africa.
• They observed the cause of death being
cardiomyopathy.
• Reasons being absence of “Aframomum
melegueta ”

9. Clinical use of herbal drugs
• Various herbal drugs are used in Clinical
Veterinary Medicine.
• Herbal drugs have proved very useful when
used either alone or in combination with
other drugs.

17. Mastilep as a prophylactic ointment
• As a prophylactic measure to control mastitis
we have been using mastilep ointment in
Kashmir Valley.
• MOST OF FARMERS ARE POOR ( 1 to 2 cows
only)

18. What we do ?
• Often we prescribe mastilep to them when their
animals are in a state of high yield (after
parturition)
• THRICE IN A WEEK (MONDAY , WEDNESDAY &
FRIDAY) ……. but b.i.d
• Farmers who have been using this ointment
during peak yields do not complain much
regarding mastitis.

19. In FARMS
• We found dramatic results in 03 dairy farms in
Srinagar area where incidence of mastitis was
minimal using this ointment.
CVH- SRINAGAR

21. • We used mastilep ointment thrice in a week
(ON A/D) in these 03 farms during peak yields
………. but b.i.d.
• In these farms incidence of mastitis was high
previously but came down dramatically to a
low level using this ointment.
