“…Nevertheless, they can also be exposed to dangerous plants due to the incorrect use of ethnoveterinary plants or some contamination, which can also cause toxicological effects (Welch et al., 2018). It is important to be aware of the toxic potential of plants of veterinary significance because therapeutic efficacy can occur at a lower dose, whereas poisoning can be induced by substance accumulation and overdose (Mcgaw & Eloff, 2014). Furthermore, phytochemical, pharmacological, and toxicological studies are necessary for the rational use of medicinal plants (Bouabid, Lamchouri, Toufik, & Faouzi, 2019).…”

“…In this scenario, alternatives to the use of veterinary drugs are gaining attention, such as the use of substances of natural origin (Davidović et al., 2011; Mcgaw & Eloff, 2014; Toyang, Wanyama, Nuwanyakpa, & Django, 2007). Natural products (NPs) are defined as a broad and diverse group of compounds from natural sources including plants, microorganisms, marine organisms, and insects that have a wide range of biological activities, which over time have been exploited for the benefit of human and animal health (Lahlau, 2013; Xei et al., 2015).…”

Alternatives to the use of conventional veterinary drugs in food‐producing animals have gained attention, such as the use of natural products (NPs), mainly to soften the risks to the animal, the environment, and consumer's health. Although NPs have consistent advantages over conventional drugs, they cannot be considered risk free under food safety matters. In this way, this document presents a comprehensive overview of the importance of considering both the pharmacological and toxicological properties of the constituents of a NP from plants intending the standardization and regulation of its use in food‐producing animals. Terpenes are the most diverse class of natural substances present in NP of vegetal origin with a broad range of biological activities that can be explored in veterinary science; however, certain plants and terpenes also have significant toxic effects, a fact that can harm the health of animals and consequently generate economic losses and risks for humans. In this context, this review gathered scientific data of vegetal species of importance to ethnoveterinary for food‐producing animals, which produce terpenes, its biological effects, and their implications on food safety issues for consumers. For this, more than 300 documents were selected from different online scientific databases. The present data and discussion may contribute to the rational commercial exploration of this class of NPs in veterinary medicine.
