Abstract Background: Small ruminant health problems still represent a major constraint in Benin. Thus, to treat goats and sheep diseases, breeders use medicinal plants. However, little scientific work has been done on the traditional knowledge of these plants.The specific objectives of the current study were (i) to document the traditional knowledge regarding the disease groups treated and the medicinalplants used in the health and zootechnical management of small ruminants in Benin and (ii) to assess the effect of sex, ethnicity, agroecological zone and herd sizeassociatedwith them. Methods: To achieve these objectives, an ethnoveterinary survey was conducted in different agroecological zones from September 2018 to February 2019. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to 506 breeders and farmers and took into account the identity of the respondents, the plants used to treat the ailmentsfor improving the productivity of sheep and goats, the parts used and the method of preparation of the recipes. The data were analyzed through the calculation the Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), Fidelity Level (FL), and Consensus Factor of the Informant (CFI). Descriptive statistics and multivariate analyses were applied to our data using the software R and Minitab. The symptoms recordedfrom the respondents were categorized into 10 disorder groups using the second version of the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC). Results: Ten (10) categories of disorders were treated by the people surveyed. These are mainly disorders of the digestive system (D) (49.34%) and disorders related to pregnancy and parturition (W) (20.15%). A total of 101 species medicinal plantsbelonging to 42 families and 90 genera were recorded. The most represented families are Leguminosae (21.57%) and Euphorbiaceae (6.86%). The most cited speciesare Zanthoxylumzanthoxyloides (Lam.) Watermann, Khayasenegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss, Strigahermonthica (DeliIe) Benth. and Adansoniadigitata L. Sex, ethnicity, agroecological zone and herd size are the socioeconomic and environmental factors that influence the level of ethnoveterinary knowledge. Conclusions: Results showedthe high diversity of medicinal species used to treat small ruminant’sdiseasesin Benin. Chemical and biological analyzes are needed to test the effectiveness of the main inventoried plants. Keywords : Ethnoveterinary, sheep, goats, Benin.

Abstract Background: With the increasing use of traditional herbal medicine, the issue of the genetic diversity of medicinal plants has received considerable critical attention. A high degree of genetic diversity is the basis for maintaining the stability and long-term survival of the population, so the changes in genetic diversity and genetic structure of cultivated medicinal plants caused by habitat changes can not be ignored; Meanwhile, the difference of secondary metabolism of medicinal plants caused by habitat change is also deserving of attention simultaneously. And It is also worth pondering whether the changes between them are consistent. Results: In this study, the wild and cultivated populations of Polygonatum odoratum, Dioscorea nipponica and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus were selected as the research objects. and the genetic structure and HPLC fingerprint between wild and cultivated populations were compared and analyzed by using Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) marker and HPLC . The results demonstrated that the wild and cultivated populations of the three medicinal plants maintained higher genetic diversity, however, the genetic structure of wild populations of P.odoratum and D.nipponica is more similar. In addition, there was a great genetic differentiation between P.odoratum and D.nipponica populations. There were significant differences in HPLC fingerprints among different populations, in which the secondary metabolites of wild populations were more complex, nevertheless, there was less difference in HPLC fingerprints between wild and cultivated populations of P.odoratum and D.nipponica. Spearman correlation analysis implied that environmental factors (including soil environmental factors, rainfall, temperature) had significant effects on the secondary metabolites of the three medicinal plants, whereas, soil environmental factors had less effect on the genetic structure of the three medicinal plants. Conclusion: In conclusion, during the cultivation years, environmental factors only have a significant effect on the secondary metabolism of the three medicinal plants, their populations still maintain higher genetic diversity and stable genetic structure, what’s more, the secondary metabolites of the same medicinal plants with stable and similar genetic structure may still be different from each other when the habitat is changed. It indicated that there is no obvious consistency between them during the cultivation years.

Potential Exploitation

A very important parameter for the utilization of medicinal plants is the quality of active substances. The quality of the plant active substances does not depend only on its physiological potential and condition, but also on the environmental factors. The status of microelements in the soil and the basic ecological indices of plants, as the site indicators, at two localities on Mt. Kosmaj are presented. It was concluded that these relationships are very complex, in most cases identical and in direct correlation with the representation of individual plant species. Medicinal plants were analyzed in the first place because of their potential exploitation.
