Agriculture and Forestry Research, Special Issue No 362 (Braunschweig, 2012) ISSN 0376-0723 Download: www.vti.bund.de/en/startseite/vti-publications/landbauforschung-special-issues.html Traditionally, this type of branding treatment can only be done by an experienced healer, and the knowledge is passed to the eldest male in the family. It is common to combine treatments. Botanical formulations are often applied topically to the branded area. Preliminary findings from this study show that traditional and modern livestock medicine can play complementary roles. When traditional healers are unable to differentiate a disease based on observable symptoms, a veterinarian can collect additional data through common laboratory tests like microscopic analysis of stool samples and haematological tests. At the same time, modern veterinarians expressed interest in the use of medicinal plants and botanical formulas to enhance animal health. Since medicinal plants and ayurvedic treatments are still commonly prescribed for human health in Sri Lanka, it should be noted that Sri Lankan veterinarians may be more re- Figure 1. Brands applied by a traditional healer ceptive to these techniques than veterinarians in other regions. Figure 2. Brand used to control diarrhea (left) and brand used to control high temperature fevers (right) Discussion Organic certification standards prohibit the use of most synthetic drugs in animal husbandry. Without access to these treatments, organic livestock farmers tend to focus on holistic health and disease prevention, but still there are times that treatment is required. In this context, it is important to assess all available alternatives. Traditional livestock healing techniques have evolved over generations and survived for hundreds of years because farmers felt they were effective. Priority should be given to ethnobotanical studies that preserve traditional knowledge on animal health and disease management. The medicinal plants used to treat disease in many traditional systems are permitted under international organic regulations. Once these traditional techniques are documented, further veterinary research should be conducted to scientifically assess their effectiveness. Based on these findings, effective techniques should be incorporated into organic extension and certification systems. Suggestions to tackle future challenges of organic animal husbandry • Conduct ethnobotanical research to document traditional techniques for treating animal diseases. • Scientifically assess the effectiveness of documented medicinal plants and traditional techniques. • Incorporate effective techniques into organic extension and certification systems for organic animal husbandry. 460
