“…Giday and Teklehaymanot [9] reported seventeen plant species in Ada’ar District, Afar Regional State; Gradé [58] reported seventeen plant species in pastoral Karamoja, Northern Uganda; Dharani [103] reported 10 plant species in East Africa and Sori [104] reported ten plant species in Borana Pastoralists, Southern Ethiopia [9, 13, 17, 20, 22, 25, 35, 41, 44, 51, 55, 69, 71, 79, 81]. The number of ethnoveterinary plants reported in Yalo woreda is more than many studies conducted in Ethiopia [30, 53, 55, 60, 70, 72–74, 87, 104–109] even though studies undertaken in some societies reported a higher number of ethnoveterinary plants [9, 43, 77, 104, 110, 111]. It indicates the rich knowledge of ethnoveterinary important plants in the study area since the people are highly dependent on the animals for their living [43, 58, 60, 69, 70, 104].…”
