The significance of traditional technology should not and cannot be undermined if development has to be sustainable. Validation of indigenous knowledge (IK) is a logical step to qualify and quantify the effectiveness of the practices. Keeping this in mind, an attempt was being made to validate IKs in livestock health care system through farmers’ assessment. QuIK develops the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) tool matrix ranking or rating to assess farmers’ technical knowledge in order to test hypothesis about agriculture and dairy performance. Parameters for the matrix are defined in order to test hypothesis, which was derived from interactive farmer - researcher discussion. The study was conducted in Birbhum district of West Bengal. Participant observation tool was adopted to collect indigenous knowledge (IK)/traditional/local knowledge. Five QuIK matrices were employed to validate performance of 11 IKs used in five different health care practices, viz. FMD, wound healing, diarrhoea, bleeding dysentery and bleeding from injury against five parameters (extent of cure, cost effectiveness, ease in use, recovery time and resource availability). Mean scores of farmers’ response for each practice against the identified parameters with respect to use of practices for control of these diseases of livestock were tabulated. It was evident from the result of Kruskall –Wallis or H test that all the practices were equally effective in all the cases.
