Abstract :The Kyrgyz people have a rich centuries-old cultural heritage. For many centuries, they have led a nomadic lifestyle, and even today, in rural areas, people who are engaged in livestock breeding lead a seminomadic lifestyle. Like other ethnic groups, the Kyrgyz people widely use plant-based, animal-derived and mineral-derived natural products, and engage in various religious rituals. These ethnoveterinary medicines are generally associated with folk skills, beliefs, knowledge, practices, and methods related to animal health in the ethnic group areas. The use of plant species mentioned for ethnoveterinary use in the folk cure and prevention of livestock ailments on the part of the nomadic Kyrgyz people is very important. Most of the tools and methods used by the Kyrgyz people in the prevention of animal diseases are not scientifically substantiated, and to this day are of more ethnographic interest than scientific evidence. The purpose of this research is to study the traditional knowledge and methods used by the Kyrgyz people in the prevention of animal diseases.
