A tradition of veterinary therapy developed very early in India and this has survived to the present time. Based on the Ayurveda ('knowledge concerning longevity'), a medical art which had its roots in the literature of the Veda (1500-1000 BC), Indian veterinary medicine is known for its specialised literature, which provides information on ancient methods of preventing and treating diseases of animals before the advent of modern medicine. Some of these treatments, little known outside India, are still practised today.
印度很早就形成了兽医治疗的传统，并且一直延续至今。基于阿育吠陀（意为“关于长寿的知识”）这一植根于吠陀文献（公元前1500 - 1000年）的医学技艺，印度兽医学以其专门的文献而闻名，这些文献提供了现代医学出现之前预防和治疗动物疾病的古老方法的信息。其中一些疗法在印度以外鲜为人知，但至今仍在使用。
