The study was conducted among randomly selected 4 tribal villages of Binpur block and 4 tribal villages of Jhargram block of Medinipur district of West Bengal. From each village, all heads of Santal and Lodha households keeping livestock were selected for the present study. So, 204 heads of tribal household formed the sample of the study. The data were collected through personal interview schedules and observational techniques. In addition Key Informant Technique was used to find out the indigenous knowledge which is mostly available among the ojhas (village medicine men). The different plants which are used by santal and Lodha tribes and their Ojha for treatment of different diseases of animal were documented.
