grazing during these 3 months. He observed that animals relish vegetation like
Kurinchithalai, Malampul, Sevvarugampul, Karuoosipul, Malan kiluvai etc. in the
forests. He also believes that dried fallen leaves of bamboo gives cattle good stamina.
He proposes uprooting of Lantana camera bushes followed by planting of grass species
such as Bamboo, Kinangu, Seemarpul which in turn suppress the growth of Lantana.
However such model planting should be fenced with solar electric wire fencing so as to
prevent wild elephants entering into the planted sites. He is following ethno-veterinary
practices for treating diseases like muttu adaippan, diarrohea, repeat breeding, intestinal
worms, wounds, conjunctivitis and broken horns.
