Abstract

This study investigates the role of traditional plant remedies in treating respiratory diseases in livestock in Delhi NCR. A sample of 409 households was surveyed using a structured questionnaire to assess the frequency of remedy use and its effect on reducing respiratory symptoms. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between traditional remedy usage and the improvement of respiratory health in livestock. The study highlights the potential benefits of traditional practices for livestock health management in rural and peri-urban areas. It contributes valuable insights for policymakers and veterinarians aiming to integrate traditional knowledge with modern veterinary practices to enhance animal welfare.
