An inventory of the food spectrum of Gaur at Eturnagaram wildlife sanctuary in Telangana State (India) was made through a three year study with an aim to explore the diet composition, preferable food plants and their ethnoveterinary potential to treat different ailments.The ethnomedicinal plants used by the ethnic koya tribes living in and around the Eturnararma wildlife sanctuary are documented The study identified 44 medicinal plant taxa representing 35 genera of 26 families. Ceasalpinaceae, Combretaceae and Rhamnaceae are the predominant family with 3 species from each family. The ethnoveterinary information on the food plants of Gaur used for treating ailments of animals, it has been observed that stem bark (45.45%) is the most commonly used plant part followed by leaves (22.73%), roots (11.36%), whole plant parts (11.36%), flowers (04.54%) and fruits (04.45%). The enumerated plants are used to treat of several common ailments of livestock by the Koya people includes anthrax, babesiosis, cough, dysentery, ephemeral fever, epitaxis, horn cancer, impaction, inflammatory diseases, lack of milk secretion, maggot–infected sores, oestrum, opacity of cornea, panting, retained placenta, rheumatism, skin diseases, trypanosomiasis, tympany and yoke gall.
