Veterinary Herbology by Santwana Palai
Medicinal plants offer a promising solution to growing concerns about antibiotic resistance and environmental harm caused by synthetic drugs. These plants produce bioactive compounds with proven analgesic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, effectively addressing various animal ailments. Scientific research combined with evidence-based plant-based medicines opens avenues for safer, more efficient treatments.To evaluate their efficacy, researchers induce conditions like diabetes, tumors, wounds, and arthritis in lab animals to test plant extracts for potential drug development. Medicinal herbs also treat bacterial, viral, and parasitic disorders and are beneficial for infertility, skin, kidney, respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, certain plants function as galactagogues for cattle and growth promoters in poultry.
This book bridges traditional knowledge and modern research, providing a comprehensive overview of medicinal plants therapeutic principles, safe use, and clinical applications. Clear explanations of plant identification, pharmacologic effects, and practical uses aim to guide readers in applying these remedies in animal care practices. It serves as a valuable resource for integrating traditional medicine with contemporary science, preserving the legacy of animal healthcare while advancing research and practical applications.
Santwana Palai: has a specialization in Vascular Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Ethnopharmacology. She is a knowledgeable scientific orator. She is trained for analysis of bioactive compounds for development of high-value products and oriented on Laboratory animal Sciences. She has published 22 research papers, 25 review articles in journals, 31 popular articles in magazines, and 27 book chapters of international repute like Springer, Wiley, etc. She has been a resource person in 23 technical meetings and presented 19 oral and 17 poster presentations at national conferences. She has written 53 conference papers and orated 9 TV shows and radio talks in vernacular language for the benefit of practicing veterinarians and farmers too. She is acting as Principal Investigator for funding under the scheme “Collaborative Research Grant in Biotechnology” on “Wound healing efficacy of green nanoparticles in diabetic mice model” in collaboration with the Institute of Life Sciences, BBSR. She visualizes Veterinary Pharmacology & Toxicology as a sound platform for understanding drug action, its mechanism, and therapeutic effects in target animal species and mitigating the toxic effects of all chemical drugs/ toxicants and herbal products with a thorough understanding of aspects of toxicology.
She aims to popularize alternate medication especially herbal medicaments through scientific validation, to decrease antimicrobial resistance, reduce residues of allopathic drugs in animal tissues and products along with providing cheap and safe treatments to livestock. She works keenly on natural product chemistry for novel therapeutic approaches.
