Ethnoveterinary medicine differs not only from region to region but also among and within communities. Depending on the work division and professional specialisation, men may know more about large animals while women commonly are more familiar with small animals or with certain type of diseases such as mastitis and neonatal care. Hunters may have a wealth of information on hunting dogs. Knowing about such differences can be crucial in the selection of respondents in research and partners for extension approaches, the design of training courses, and the selection of trainees for communitybased animal health workers.
