ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Ethnoveterinary practices have supported livestock healthcare around the world. Global demand for plant-based products as alternatives to antimicrobial feed additives in livestock production industry is rising. Detailed documentation of ethnoveterinary knowledge could shorten the bioprospecting process for veterinary applications, while supporting evidence-based ethnopharmacological studies which improve local veterinary practices.
AIM OF THE STUDY: Systematically investigating ethnoveterinary knowledge in northeast Yunnan of China to identify species and formulars for further bioprospection on veterinary medicines and antimicrobial feed additives.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 2022-2024, we carried out five surveys in 24 villages with 64 dialog partners who are local veterinary healers, knowledgeable farmers, and local veterinary technicians. We employed Use Report, Frequency of Citation, informant consensus factor and Apriori algorithm for data analysis.
RESULTS: We documented 218 species (82 families) and 220 formulars for 16 categories of local veterinary use. The most treated veterinary diseases are digestive, musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders. Three frequently mentioned species (Dipsacus asper, Taraxacum sinicum, Bupleurum longicaule var. amplexicaule) were newly reported for ethnoveterinary uses for the first time in Eurasia. Bistorta vivipara and Argentina lineata, Plantago asiatica and Rumex nepalensis, Berberis wilsoniae and Rumex nepalensis were often used together to treat digestive, respiratory and skin disorders respectively. Argentina lineata, Rumex nepalensis, Dipsacus asper have high potential as antimicrobial feed additives, promoting livestock growth and health with little drug resistance and ecological damage.
CONCLUSIONS: Pharmaceutical studies could be designed based on these findings to develop effective, safe and user-friendly plant-derived veterinary medicines and antimicrobial feed additives. Local government agencies should recognize and promote ethnoveterinary knowledge transmission and support local conservation initiatives for sustainable use of the plant species.
