Aim: The current study is being presented since there is insufficient data regarding the ethno-veterinary use of plant-based treatments in Uttarakhand and India for animal health. Background: Since the majority of people in India live in rural areas and the nation is predominantly agricultural, cattle in particular have a significant impact on the wellbeing of society and the economy. The Van Gujars of the Shivalik Hills in Uttarakhand are one of the many people that only rely on their livestock. The Van Gujjar people of Uttarakhand depend only on the production of milk and the distribution of milk products, in addition to providing the hill people with genetically superior offspring of native buffaloes. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in the Rajaji Tiger Reserve and its surrounding regions, primarily in the Gohri, Ramgarh and Chilawali ranges. People residing in these places provided the information about plants used in ethno-veterinary medicine. Results: In all, 49 medicinal plants were used in the research area to treat a variety of illnesses and cattle. According to the results of the current study, the Gujjar populations that reside inside the Rajaji Tiger Reserve and the adjacent Van Gujjar woods in Uttarakhand still mostly rely on botanicals and common folk remedies to treat veterinary illnesses. They know a great deal about using traditional ethno-veterinary medicine to treat common ailments in their animals. Conclusion: Therefore, it is imperative that their traditional knowledge of the ethno-veterinary usage of medicinal plants be documented before it vanish.
