Miscellaneous Topics
Since animals and plants are regarded as a part of
the same cosmos as humans, it is not surprising that animal and plant life was keenly protected
and veterinary medicine was a distinct branch of science with its own hospitals and
scholars. Numerous texts, especially of the postclassical period, Vishnudharmottar
Mahaapuraan for example, mention veterinary medicine. Megasthnese refers to the kind
of treatment which was later to be incorporated in Palakapya Muni's Hastyaayur Ved
and similar treatises. Shaalihotra was the most eminent authority on horse breeding
and hippiatry. Juadudatta gives a detailed account of the medical treatment of cows
in his Ashwa-Vaidyak.
