Millions of sheep and goats migrate to the hills of north-western Himalayan states and alpine pastures of other Himalayan countries every year as the summer approaches and the ambient temperature starts soaring high. It is quite a scene on the roads to witness vehicle drivers waiting by the road side to pave the way for waves of ascending animals heading for alpine pastures. Similar is the scenario when these animals return from the high-altitude areas with the onset of winter. This chapter presents salient features of animal migratory farming system including the tough journey, en route problems, the practice of manuring, managing flocks at the alpine grasslands, animal husbandry practices, etc. During ascending, the shepherds could be seen carrying ration or food stuff, medicines, heavy woolens, salt bags, and other essential materials. Some shepherds hire mules or yaks to carry the stuff. The animals thrive on tree leaves, seasonal crop residues, or dry hay at the base camp in the plains, whereas during climbing up, the animals just sustain on tree leaves, shrubs, and en route grazing. Depending on the location of the destination (pastures), the shepherds travel along with their flocks for about 25–45 days and cover a total distance of around 200 to 400 km. An interesting aspect of the migratory journey is what is called “the practice of manuring” wherein the en route farmers invite the shepherds for overnight stay of sheep and goat flocks in the fields to provide their droppings as manure and enrich the soil. Stay in the alpine pastures is a difficult task and the shepherds themselves have to conduct all animal husbandry activities including shearing, lambing, and disease management. A unique feature of tribal pastoralists is ethnoveterinary practice and use of different plant species for treatment of animal diseases. The ethnoveterinary knowledge concerns people’s indigenous knowledge and practices and their experience for treating animal diseases that is carried from one generation to the other. The list of common plants of ethnoveterinary importance in the north-western Indian Himalayan states/union territories and ailments treated have been described.
