abstract
A wide variety of plant and plant based preparations have been used since long in veterinary medicine for therapy of many disorders and diseases. Many hormonal preparations have been tried on infertile animals to restore the fertility whose results are suboptimal. According to the popular beliefs, ancient traditions and standard works by different workers, a number of plants or preparations have been mentioned as fertility modulator. In this review we highlight the different combinations of ethno-veterinary medicines including plants and their products for amelioration of different reproductive disorders in animals with special reference to dairy cows. More appreciation and systematic work on the plant based remedies is required to prove their value and efficiency to treat reproductive disorders. It is becoming increasingly evident that many herbal remedies are indeed of considerable medicinal value and need fullest exploitation.
