“…Previous research studies conducted in other areas also agreed to high consent of local people on traditional animal therapies. For instance, the reported Fic values for dermatological problems were 0.93, 0.93, and 0.82 [ 26 , 64 , 65 ]; for reproductive disorders, 1.00 and 0.89 [ 65 , 66 ]; for gastric problems, 0.90, 0.70, 0.92, 0.95, and 0.94 [ 26 , 64 – 66 ]; for galactagogue, 0.83 and 0.50 [ 6 , 65 ]; and for wound healing, 0.40 and 0.45 [ 6 , 67 ]. Heinrich et al [ 68 ] has submitted the idea that high Fic values can be used as a tool to target the plants for the isolation of biologically active components.…”

BackgroundThe pastoral lifestyle of Indigenous communities of Bajaur Agency is bringing them close to natural remedies for treating their domestic animals. Several studies have been conducted across the globe describing the importance of traditional knowledge in veterinary care. Therefore, this study was planned with the aim to record knowledge on ethnoveterinary practices from the remote areas and share sit with other communities through published literature.MethodsData was gathered from community members through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through informant consensus factor (Fic) to evaluate the consent of current ethnoveterinary practices among the local people.ResultsIn total, 73 medicinal plants were recorded under the ethnoveterinary practices. Most widely used medicinal plants with maximum use reports (URs) were Visnaga daucoides Gaertn., Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Solanum virginianum L., Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, Glycyrrhiza glabra L., and Curcuma longa L. New medicinal values were found with confidential level of citations for species including Heracleum candicans and Glycerhiza glabra. Family Apiaceae was the utmost family with high number (7 species) of medicinal plants. Maximum number of medicinal plants (32) was used for gastric problems. High Fic was recorded for dermatological (0.97) followed by reproductive (0.93) and gastrointestinal disorders (0.92). The main route of remedies administration was oral.ConclusionsCurrent study revealed that the study area has sufficient knowledge on ethnoveterinary medicinal plants. This knowledge is in the custody of nomadic grazers, herders, and aged community members. Plants with new medicinal uses need to be validated phytochemically and pharmacologically for the development of new alternative drugs for veterinary purposes.

“…We have listed out 276 different South Asian plant species based on available ethnoveterinary surveys (Adnan et al 2014;Ahmed and Murtaza, 2015;Dilshad et al 2008;Nair and Punniamurthy, 2016;Farooq et al 2008;Ghotge et al 2002;Githiori et al 2004;Khan and Hanif 2006;Nair and Chanda, 2008;Parthiban et al 2016;Phondani et al 2010;Raziq et al 2010;Sharma et al 2012;Sharma and Manhas 2015;Ul Haq et al 2011;Upadhyay et al 2011;Verma 2014) among others ( Table 1). Most of the respondents were farmers, shepherds, housewives, and herbalists who were familiar with livestock problems and use of conventional recipes.…”

Ethnoveterinary health management practices using medicinal plants in South Asia – a review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Animal rearing is the major occupation of most population of South Asian countries. Due to lack of resources and limited approach to modern medicine, most of the livestock raisers prefer to use plant-based traditional medicine also referred to as ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM). Indeed, the use of medicinal plants in South Asia dates back to several centuries with documented evidences. However, there is currently a dearth of documentation and compilation of use of medicinal plants for animal diseases in this part of the world. This review aims to provide an up-to-date compilation of common medicinal plants used for the treatment and/or management of common animal diseases in South Asian countries. Extensive literature search was conducted online and relevant data was retrieved from well-known scientific databases. A total of 276 plants belonging to 95 families have been documented to be in common use for managing 14 different categories of animal diseases. Solanaceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, and Leguminosae were most common plant families in terms of their plant species used for EVM. Gastric diseases were commonly reported and accounted for 72 species of plants used for its treatment followed by the miscellaneous disorders category and skin diseases comprising of 65 and 39 plant species respectively. Herbs accounted for 46% of the total plant species, followed by trees (33%), and shrubs (18%). The EVM were applied through different routes of administration; oral administration accounted for 72% followed by topical application 27%, while burning of plant parts to create smoke around animals to repel insects was less common (1%). It is anticipated that the present review will stimulate further ethnoveterinary research among livestock disease management practices in South Asia.

“…The leaves of Vitex negundo were given orally in the study area to cattle to cure pyrexia. In other studies the leaves were used to treat stomachache, reddening eyes, and diarrhea in milk-yielding animals and camels (Sharma et al 2012, Sharma & Manhas 2015. The leaves and twigs of this species were used as an appetizer and against mastitis in livestock Himal Pradesh (Sehgal & Sood 2013), while in Uttarakhand and Karnataka the same plant part was used as antidote against snake bites in animals (Harsha et al 2005).…”

Background: Gujjar and Bakarwal tribal communities are a treasure trove of traditional veterinary knowledge as they have been using plants to keep their livestock healthy and free from diseases for centuries. However, this knowledge is declining day by day due to several factors. The present study was aimed at surveying and documenting the medicinal plants used traditionally by the tribal communities of Gujjar and Bakarwal in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), India to treat livestock ailments.Methods: A systematic ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 12 villages between July 2018-March 2020. Data was gathered from the local inhabitants using semi-structured questionnaires and analyzed quantitatively using use-value (UV), relative frequency of citation (RFC), informant consensus factor (ICF) and fidelity level (FL).Results: A total of 31 medicinal plant species belonging to 30 genera of 24 families, with herbs as the dominantly used plant habit (70.97%) were encountered. Roots were most frequently used for remedy preparation (35.14%) followed by leaves (32.43%), with oral administration as the main application mode. Use-value and Relative frequency of citation ranged from 0.03-0.72 and 0.03-0.48 respectively. Based on these values, Rumex nepalensis was found to be the most important ethnoveterinary species used. The reported Informant Consensus Factors were very high (0.81-1.00), indicating a very broadly spread knowledge about ethnoveterinary plants in the communities. The use category with the greatest number of plant species (10 spp.) was gynecological / andrological problems.
