“…Most of the time, individuals using medicinal plants also give these products to their pets without consulting a veterinarian. This behavior elevates the potential for unfavorable reactions, such as allergic responses (Severino, 2005). Additionally, although infrequent, interactions between traditional medicines and synthetic drugs may occur.…”

Animal plays a significant role in the country's economy. Ethno-veterinary medicines refers to the use of traditional medical practices for the management of animal diseases. These include medicinal plants, herbs, and other bio-active substances to promote animal health. The occurrence of antibiotic resistance due to the over-usage of antibiotics in the animal sector is a major problem as it imposes an undesirable impact on the environment and human health. This occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in human health is considered a silent pandemic and causes severe health consequences. Ethno-veterinary medicine provides a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to antibiotics. These traditional herbal medicines can promote animal health by treating respiratory, digestive, and parasitic infections without depending on antibiotics. Furthermore, these medicines also have the potential to promote the preservation of species of medicinal plants and biodiversity. By utilizing traditional knowledge and practices, local communities can play a dynamic role in the sustainable management of natural resources.

Through the regulations CE.834/2007 and implementing rules CE 889/2008, regarding the organic production the treatment with antibiotics in livestock are extremely limited. Therefore plants can replace medicines in treatment of certain conditions. The plants used in ethnoveterinary medicine are varied depending on area, but this review refers to plants existing in Romania identical to those existing in other areas of the world, some being used only in certain areas, others in areal extended, but it can be a start for farmers to seek natural remedies. There are 66 plant species which belong to a large number of families, but most plants belong to the family Asteraceae (11 -16.66%), followed by species of family Solanaceae (6.06%) and family: Malvaceae, Adoxaceae, Convolvulacea, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae with 3 species each (4.54%). Of the plants, 11 species (16.8%) are considered to be toxic and 18 (27.2%) potentially toxic but, have therapeutic effect in extremely small amounts. Regardless of the area, plants are used in the same treatments in different form.

Background For decades, Ethiopians have employed ethnoveterinary medicinal plants to cure both human and livestock ailments. Currently, few studies have been conducted on antimicrobial activity evaluation in Ethiopia. This study, therefore, is designed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of selected ethnoveterinary medicinal plants used in treating livestock ailments in the study area. Methods Ethanol extracts of plants obtained by maceration of roots and leaves of four medicinal plant species were studied for potential antimicrobial activity using a disc diffusion method against S. aureus and E. coli . Data obtained from experiments were analyzed using ANOVA and the significant test was set to P < 0.05. Results The antibacterial properties of four ethanol extracts of leaves of Withania somnifera L., Becium obovatum, Ageratum conyzoides L., and root of Pentas lanceolata (Forssk.) Defiers were evaluated in vitro and found to be effective against S. aureus but not E. coli . There was no significant difference between the studied plant species and concentrations (p > 0.05), according to the results. The four test extracts had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 6.25 to 25 mg/mL, with inhibitory potential ranging from 12.5 to 100 mg/mL. Pentas lanceolata (Forssk.) Defiers’s antibacterial activity at a concentration of 100 mg/mL (18.67 3.78 mm) was comparable to the standard antibiotic (Gentamicin 20g per disc), which had a measurement of 23.08 ±0.9 mm. Conclusion This finding on the selected medicinal plants of Dawuro Zone supports the traditional claims of effective antimicrobial activity in the treatment of livestock health management. Hence, the study suggests further investigations need to be conducted to isolate and elucidate active ingredients in the plant materials tested.
