L’objectif de cette étude est de contribuer à la connaissance et à la préservation des plantes utilisées par les éleveurs pour le traitement des pathologies ovines dans le département de Sinématiali. En effet, l’élevage des ovins et caprins dans la région du Poro est confronté à de nombreux problèmes de santé animale dont la plupart sont des maladies gastriques et parasitaires. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, les éleveurs font recours dans la majorité des cas aux plantes médicinales naturelles. Afin d’identifier ces plantes, des enquêtes ethnobotaniques ont été réalisées à l’aide de fiches de questionnement auprès de 40 éleveurs adultes et expérimentés du département. Les enquêtes effectuées ont permis d’inventorier 24 espèces végétales réparties en 24 genres et 18 familles botaniques. Ces espèces entrent dans la composition de 25 recettes de traitement thérapeutique de divers maux des ovins dont les plus fréquents sont la diarrhée, le mal de ventre, les vers intestinaux et le paludisme. Les espèces entrant dans les diverses compositions appartiennent majoritairement à la famille botanique des Caesalpiniaceae. Les feuilles sont les organes les plus utilisées (52%). La forme d’utilisation de ces plantes est la décoction (72 %). Ce travail est une étude préliminaire devant servir de base à des études et analyses pharmacologiques plus approfondies des plantes recensées. ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge and the preservation of the plants used by the breeders for the treatment of ovine pathologies in the department of Sinématiali. Sheep and goat farming in the Poro region is faced with many animal health problems, most of which are gastric and parasitic diseases. To solve these problems, breeders resort in most cases to natural medicinal plants. In order to identify these plants, ethnobotanical surveys were conducted using questionnaires from 40 adult and experienced breeders in the department. The surveys carried out made it possible to inventory 24 plant species divided into 24 genera and 18 botanical families. These species form part of recipes for the therapeutic treatment of various ailments of sheep, the most frequent of which are diarrhea, stomach ache, intestinal worms and malaria. The species entering the various compositions belong mainly to the botanical family of Caesalpiniaceae. Leaves are the most used organs (52%). The form of use of these plants is the decoction (72%). This work is a preliminary study to serve as a basis for further pharmacological studies and analyzes of the identified plants.

Abstract Background: Ethnoveterinary medicine is a scientific term for traditional animal health care that encompasses knowledge, belief, practice and skill of the community used for curing diseases and maintaining health of animals. A cross-sectional study was conducted using semi-structured questionnaires from September 2016 to August 2017 to gather information on the knowledge, practice and skill of the pastoralists and traditional healers about the importance and application of Ethno-veterinary medicine. Moreover, this study was conducted with the objectives of identification and documentation of major ethno-veterinary medicinal plants commonly used to treat camel aliments in Afar region.Result: A total of 146 traditional healers and pastoralists were interviewed for baseline and reliable information about Ethno-veterinary medicinal practice in Afar region. Accordingly, 99.3% of the respondents were men in which 66.44% of them were in the age range of 45-60. Majorities (76.02%) of the information’s concerning EVM were obtained from the elders among which 84.93% responded that the overall EVM practice and status in pastoral society of Afar is decreasing. A total of 710 plant species supposed to have medicinal property were recommended by pastoralists to be used for the treatment of 49 different animal diseases. Among 64 plants specimen collected, Balanites aegyptia, Cissus rotundifolia (Forssk.) Vahl, Cadaba rotundifolia Forssk, Solanum sp, Acalypha indica L and Tamarix aphylla (L.) Karsts were the commonly used plant species with high fidelity value. Concerned with plant parts used, leaf (20.5%) was the most frequently used plant parts followed by root (19.4%), fruit (14.4%), seed (10.8%) and entire plant (8.8%). These herbal remedies were administered orally, nasally, ocular and topically.Conclusion: pastoralists and traditional healers in Afar region have immense indigenous knowledge and practices of treating sick animals which should be supported by scientific techniques for analyzing the active ingredients contained in each plant species and for evaluating the safety, efficacy and dosage of the commonly used medicinal plants. In addition, on station establishment of commonly used medicinal plant nursery for conservation purpose and to conduct in-depth phytochemical analysis is paramount important.

Objectives: The aim was to contribute to the promotion of medicinal plants used in Africa for management of asthma by analyzing their experimental pharmacological evaluation data. Methods: We carried out a systematic review of the literature based on the following research equations in English and in French: « médecine traditionnelle africaine » ET « asthma » ; « African traditional medicine » AND « asthma » or « Medicine African traditional » AND « asthma » ; « plantes médicinales » ET « asthma » ET « antispasmodique » ; «medicinal plants » AND « asthma » AND « anti-spasmodic » ; « plantes médicinales » ET « asthma » ET « anti-inflammatoire » ; «medicinal plants » AND « asthma » AND « anti-inflammatory ». Results: The study revealed 184 medicinal plants used in Africa for the treatment of asthma, 34 of which showed pharmacological properties in favor of their use. In animal experiments, 18 of these plants exerted a spasmolytic effect, 22 an anti-inflammatory effect and 6 both effects. The spasmolytic activity study protocols were based primarily on inhibition of smooth airway muscle contraction, including trachea, induced by various spasmogenic agents. As for of the methods used to study anti-inflammatory activity, the majority of them consisted of tests for carrageenan-induced edema or for formalin-induced leg irritation. Conclusion: Our results justify the need for standardization of experimental study protocols for the recovery of medicinal plants.

Abstract Background The traditional use of plant as medicine for the management of man and animal health has been from time immemorial to alleviate sicknesses in both local and urban communities. Animal has been a medium of provision of proteins and for the normal growth of organisms, however there are a lot of diseases that are detritions’ to the normal health of animals, hence reduced the effectiveness of such an animal. There is therefore a need for ethnobotanical documentation of the medicinal plants as well as associated knowledge and practices. Method Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted in Ekiti South senatorial district between 2017 and 2018 to document plants used in treating animal diseases in the study area. Semi structured questionnaire and the guided field-walk methods was used to interview the respondents who supplied information on plants used in treating the identified animal diseases. Different ethnobotanical indices were used to evaluate the relevance of the documented plants to the management of animal diseased prevailing in the study area. Results A total of 63 plant species from 38 families were documented for the management of ruminant and birds animals. The plants were reported using to treat six categories of ailments. The part of the plants mostly used are the leaves (50.7%) followed by the bark (40.8%), the seed (35.2%) and root (18.3%). The plants are prepared and applied either singly or in combination with other plants and are used either in the wet or dried forms. Rationales for the choice of these plants were also identified. The decoctions and infusions are the most frequent methods of preparation. The traditional healers in the study area possess rich ethno-pharmacological knowledge and depend largely on naturally growing plant species. The documented medicinal plants can serve as a basis for further and future phytochemical and pharmacological studies. Conclusion The study areas are rich in biodiversity because of the favorable climatic conditions. However, the indiscriminate exploitation of the farming land is detrimental to the availability of some of the naturally occurred and indigenous plants, thus extinction of the plants cannot be underestimated. Therefore the documentation of the information will significantly contribute to the evaluation and preservation of the traditional knowledge before it is finally eroded.
