“…Mauritians suggest a glass of T. lucida flower decoction in the case of abdominal pain related to diseases of the circulatory system, and in the case of neonatal jaundice for breastfeeding mothers [ 137 ]. Indian folk veterinary medicine applies drops of T. erecta flower extract thrice a day to cows and buffalos for otitis [ 138 ], and applies leaves to limit bleeding and to cure broken horns, external injury, and eye diseases [ 139 ]. In southern Ethiopia, leaves and stems of T. minuta are chopped, mixed with water, and given orally to cattle and sheep affected by anthrax, blackleg, and amoebiasis [ 140 ].…”

Tagetes (marigold) is native to America, and its cultivation currently extends to other countries in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Many species of this genus, such as T. minuta, T. erecta, T. patula, and T. tenuifolia, are cultivated as ornamental plants and studied for their medicinal properties on the basis of their use in folk medicine. Different parts of the Tagetes species are used as remedies to treat various health problems, including dental, stomach, intestinal, emotional, and nervous disorders, as well as muscular pain, across the world. Furthermore, these plants are studied in the field of agriculture for their fungicidal, bactericidal, and insecticidal activities. The phytochemical composition of the extracts of different Tagetes species parts are reported in this work. These compounds exhibit antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and enzyme inhibitory properties. Cultivation and the factors affecting the chemical composition of Tagetes species are also covered. In the current work, available literature on Tagetes species in traditional medicine, their application as a food preservative, and their antimicrobial activities are reviewed.

“…Traditional medicines made from medicinal plants represent a source of multitarget therapeutics, and scientific interest in plant‐derived natural product‐based drug discovery is growing (Atanasov et al., ; Brusotti, Cesari, Dentamaro, Caccialanza, & Massolini, ; Lavecchia, Rea, Antonacci, & Giardi, ). Medicinal plants have long been used in ethnomedicine and folk veterinary medicine to treat various livestock diseases (Kumar & Bharati, ; Lans, Turner, Khan, Brauer, & Boepple, ).…”

Two experiments were conducted on sheep to determine the effect of dietary supplementation with zinc and a medicinal plant mixture on haematological parameters and microbial activity in the rumen and large intestine. In Experiment 1, 24 male lambs were randomly divided into four groups: One group was fed an unsupplemented basal diet (control), and three groups were fed a diet supplemented with 70 mg Zn/kg diet in the form of Zn sulphate (ZnSO ), a Zn-chelate of glycine hydrate (Zn-Gly) or a Zn-proteinate (Zn-Pro), for five months. The ruminal content was collected separately from each lamb, and batch cultures of ruminal fluid were incubated in vitro with mixture of medicinal plants (Mix) with different roughage:concentrate ratios (800:200 and 400:600, w/w). Bioactive compounds in Mix were quantified by UPLC/MS/MS. In Experiment 2, four sheep were fed a diet consisting of meadow hay and barley grain (400:600, w/w), with Zn-Gly (70 mg Zn/kg diet), Mix (10% replacement of meadow hay) or Zn-Gly and Mix (Zn-Gly-Mix) as supplements in a Latin square design. Mix decreased total gas (p < 0.001) and methane (p < 0.01) production in vitro. In Experiment 1, caecal isobutyrate and isovalerate concentrations varied among the dietary treatments (p < 0.01). The isovalerate concentration of the zinc-supplemented groups in the distal colon was higher (p < 0.001) compared with the control. In Experiment 2, the molar proportion of isobutyrate was the highest in the faeces of the sheep fed the diet with Zn-Gly-Mix (p < 0.01). The plasma zinc concentration was higher in the groups fed a diet supplemented with zinc (p < 0.001). The haematological profile and antioxidant status did not differ between the dietary groups (p > 0.05). The diets containing medicinal plants and organic zinc thus helped to modulate the characteristics of fermentation in ruminants.

“…When herbalists prepare herbal preparations to treat various ailments, they frequently add some other plant parts, several ingredients and additives. Several previous studies by Ayyanar and Ignacimuthu [9], Keter and Mutiso [26], Kumar and Bharati [10] and Shah et al [11] also supported this view.…”

Background: Traditional medicine plays an important role in primary healthcare of people reside in forest areas. We have reported the ethnomedicinal plants used by two ethnic communities in Western Ghats region of Erode district, Tamil Nadu, India. Aim of study:The aim of this study is to gather ethnomedicinal information from local people and herbalists and calculate the documented information with statistical parameters. Materials and methods:Semi structured questionnaire was used during the interview with Malayali and Narikuravar communities to document traditional knowledge on plants. The knowledge on medicinal plants used by informants to treat different types of ailments was analysed using the use value (UV) and frequency of citation (FC). Results:A total number of 69 species of medicinal plants belonging to 33 families have been reported to treat various illnesses. Most of the plants reported in this study were used to treat diabetes, joint pain, snake bite, kidney problems, uterine disorders, sexual and fertility problems, cough, indigestion and cancer. Moringa oleifera was reported with highest UV of 5.08. Conclusion:The present study revealed that, documentation of this knowledge will offer recognition of folk medicinal practices and could offer possible avenues for pharmacological analysis for a range of ailments.
