The only national information is available with the Dept. of Wild Life and Conservation and with researchers who perform research on elephants. Therefore such data are not freely available to the public or scientists. Most domesticated elephant owners and mahouts and those who require more and more elephants to be domesticated, especially the Buddhist monks, do not have the scientific knowledge and skills about elephant care, management and handling disease conditions of elephants. The objective of writing this document is to provide scientific information on management and diseases of elephants so that all those who own and care for elephants will be aware of the basic sciences of managing elephants. The long-term goal is to ensure that elephants are allowed to live happily and easily as domesticated animals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author of this publication is Dr A. S.
