Folkloric Practices Regarding Goat Diseases and Treatments Among Sarıkeçili Nomads
Abstract
Sarıkeçili nomads are known as important representatives of the nomadic lifestyle in Anatolia. Goats have an important place in these people’s lives, and there are various folkloric practices for treating diseases observed in goats. The study aimed to contribute to the literature with folkloric data regarding the diseases and treatments of goats among Sarıkeçili nomads and to identify animal welfare problems. The research was conducted in Taşkent (Konya), one of the regions used as plateaus by Sarıkeçili nomads. The material consisted of folkloric information obtained through face-to-face interviews with nomads. Descriptive and content analysis methods were used in the analysis of the data. Folkloric data on treatments for fractures and dislocations, injuries, abscesses, agalactia, stomatitis aphthous epizootica, enterotoxemia, diarrhea, rumen tympany, poisoning, and internal parasites were obtained. With this study, it can be argued that recording the medications used by Sarıkeçili nomads in the treatment of animal diseases and their usage patterns is important for the protection of intangible cultural heritage, and these folkloric data are necessary and critical for identifying problems related to animal welfare.
