Box 3072, Mekelle, Ethiopia. Accepted 4 October, 2011 Ethoveterinary medicine provides traditional medicines which are locally available and cheaper than standard treatments. The present study was conducted to document the indigenous knowledge of ethnoveterinary practices in Medebay-Zana district, northern Ethiopia. Ethnoveterinary data was collected between October and November 2010 on eight field trips made to the site from 30 traditional healers using a semi-structured interview. A total of 24 species of ethnoveterinary medicinal plants were collected and identified for treating 21 livestock ailments. The ethnoveterinary medicinal plant preparations were administer mainly through oral (12, 46%), dermal (10, 38%), and nasal (2, 8%) routes. The most commonly used parts for herbal preparations were leaves (11, 41%), roots (6, 23%) and barks (3, 12%). The ethnoveterinary medicinal plants have various methods of preparation for different types of ailments including crushing (8 and 30.8%), crushing and squeezing (5, 19.2%), tying (5, 19.2%) and grinding (3, 11.5%). The plant parts used for livestock health treatment were mainly leaves and preparations were administer mainly through oral. Leaves are the most harvested plant part of remedy preparation for livestock ailments and oral is the major route of application of traditional medicine in the treatment of livestock diseases. Documentation of farmers knowledge, attitude and practices of ethnoveterinary medicine would be very important before the indigenous knowledge is lost forever. Key words: Ethnoveterinary, Ethiopia, livestock, Medebay-Zana. INTRODUCTION Ethnoveterinary medicine is a traditional knowledge, folk beliefs, skills, methods and practices used for the treatment of livestock ailments (Mathias-Mundy and McCorkle, 1989; Tabuti et al., 2003). Ethiopians have used traditional veterinary medicines to treat human and livestock ailments since ancient times. Plants comprise the largest component of the diverse therapeutic elements of traditional livestock health care practices (Sori et al., 2004). Livestock disease is one of the principal causes of poor livestock performance in Ethiopia, leading to an ever-increasing gap between the supply of, and the demand for, livestock products (Sori et al., 2004). Conventional veterinary services have been playing a paramount role in the control and prophylaxis of livestock diseases over the last three decades in the country but they cannot yet deliver complete coverage in preventive and curative health care practices of livestock *Corresponding author. gidey1998ec@yahoo.com. due to the high cost of drugs and equipment, an erratic supply of drugs, logistical problems and inadequate labor (Sori et al., 2004). Farmers in various developing regions still use medicinal plants for treatment of livestock diseases (Harun-or-Rashid et al., 2010) due to lack of access to modern veterinarians and price of modern medicines. Ethnoveterinary traditional practices are continuing since farmers believe that medicinal plants are more efficacious for treatment of livestock ailments than modern medicines (Harun-or-Rashid et al., 2010). Traditional veterinary medicine knowledge may be lost due to rapid socioeconomic, environmental, technological changes and as a result of the loss of cultural heritage under the guise of civilization (Mathias-Mundy and McCorkle, 1989; Nfi et al., 2001). The knowledge is transferred from generation to generation through the word of mouth with great secrecy. This suggests documenting and conserving through ethnoveterinary studies before it is lost forever. The documentation of traditional knowledge on the medicinal uses of plants has

Hence, the present study was conducted to document the indigenous knowledge of ethnoveterinary practices in Medebay-Zana district, northern Ethiopia. METHODOLOGY Study area The study was conducted in Medebay-Zana district located 330 km from Mekelle, capital city of Tigray regional state of Ethiopia. The district lies in an area of approximately 105,536 km 2 with a total of human and livestock population of about 135,690 (67,304 males and 68,386 females) and 351,501, respectively. Cattle are the major livestock kept in the district. The mean minimum and maximum annual rainfall is 500 and 900 mm, respectively and the temperature ranges between 15 to 30 C and its maximum range is in the month May. Mixed crop and livestock farming system is the mode of agriculture in the district. The district has two veterinary clinics which cover to 90% of the livestock population of the district. Anthrax, blackleg, pasteurellosis, lumpy skin disease (LSD), sheep and goat pox, fowlpox (chickens), trypanosoma, babesiosis, parasites such as lice and ticks have been reported as the most common livestock diseases and parasites in the district. livestock diseases are determined by the veterinary experts of Mekelle University. RESULTS Most of the respondents were illiterate (60%) and 80% were older than 48 years (Table 1). A total of 24 species of ethnoveterinary medicinal plants were collected and identified for treating 21 livestock ailments (Table 2). In the study area, the inhabitants rely on medicinal plants for various purposes such as medicine, firewood, construction and food. It was found that 87.5% of medicinal plants have values other than their medicinal role (Table 2). The ethnoveterinary medicinal plant preparations were administer mainly through oral (12, 46%), dermal (10, 38%), and nasal (2, 8%) routes (Figure 1). The most commonly used plant parts for herbal preparations in the area were leaves (11, 41%), roots (6, 23%) and barks (3, 12%) (Figure 2). The ethnoveterinary medicinal plants have various methods of preparation for different types of ailments like crushing (8, 30.8%), crushing and squeezing (5, 19.2%), tying (5, 19.2%) and grinding (3, 11.5%) (Figure 3). Methods Ethnoveterinary data was collected between October and November 2010 on eight field trips made to the site from 30 traditional healers using semi-structured interview (Yirga, 2010a, b; Zerabruk and Yirga, 2011). The sample informants were selected purposefully with the help of elders and residents of the area. The traditional healers involved were all males and their ages ranged 28 up to 74 years. Most (60%) of the healer s were illiterate. Interviews were made with each traditional healer about the knowledge and use of medicinal plant species used to treat livestock disease in the study area. Data on livestock ailments treated, local name of plants used, parts used, methods of preparation, route of administration and application, added values of medicinal plants, existing threats to medicinal species and indigenous knowledge transfer were recorded. Identification of the medicinal plants was done in Mekelle University using Flora of Ethiopia and Eritrea, by comparison with authentic specimens illustrations and taxonomic keys. The DISCUSSION Farmers have used traditional veterinary methods to treat livestock ailments for centuries. Majority of the respondents were older than 48 years; very few youths were involved in traditional livestock treatment in the study area showing consistency with our previous report (Yirga et al., 2011). Plants comprise the largest component of the diverse therapeutic elements of traditional livestock healthcare practices (Behailu, 2010). Ethnoveterinary medicinal practice and skills have developed through time mainly by trial and error and some times through deliberate, or even desperate experimentation and innovation (McCorkle and Mathias, 1996). Pharmacotherapy is an important means of controlling

Crushing, crushing and squeezing, tying and grinding were the main methods of ethnoveterinary medicine preparation in the area. Grinding or crushing and soaking or boiling different parts of plants are common methods for drug extraction (Deeba, 2009). Oral and dermal were the main routes of application (Gradé et al., 2009). Depending on the active ingredient to be extracted, application routes, and the medical objective preparation methods of ethnoveterinary medicine differs (McCorkle and Mathias-Mundy, 1992). Ethnoveterinary medicine is mainly administered to livestock orally as decoctions, liquid in that the plants have been steeped, vaccination, suppositories, through smoke, vapours, massage, intranasal or applied topically on the skin or as a bathe in skin problems (McCorkle and Mathias-Mundy, 1992; Lans et al., 2000; Tabuti et al., 2003; Muhammad et al., 2005; Dilshad et al., 2008). Livestock owners cannot rely on veterinary services for control of various important livestock diseases; they need to develop socially acceptable and effective remedies from reasonably inexpensive sources that can complement modern medicine (Ibrahim, 1986). The indigenous knowledge of ethnoveterinary medicine provides such an opportunity for livestock healthcare practices. Ethoveterinary medicine offers medicines, which are cheap and locally available than pharmacotherapy. Farmers can prepare and use home made remedies without any expenditure. Ethnoveterinary medicine can be useful when stock raisers have no other animal health care options (Endalew, 2007). The various traditional veterinary practices remained undocumented in Ethiopia in spite of its great contribution for livestock health care system (Dawit and Ahadu, 1993). Awareness creation on ethnoveterinary medicine emphasizing on useful plants used for treatment of livestock would be so importance for livestock management (Endalew, 2007). Majority of livestock stock in Ethiopia are in rural areas which are far from the site of veterinary stations and those that have access to veterinary services may not be able to afford the payment (Sori et al., 2004). Moreover, reduced funding for animal disease control is an issue in the country and is likely to influence the incidence of some serious livestock diseases (Sori et al., 2004). Both farmers and herders have developed their own ways of keeping their animal health and productivity (McCorkle and Mathias, 1996). The plant parts used for livestock health treatment were mainly leaves and preparations were administer mainly through oral. Leaves are the most harvested plant part of remedy preparation for livestock ailments and oral is the major rout of application of traditional medicine in the treatment of livestock diseases. This is consistent with the findings of Behailu (2010) in which leaves were the major plant part used for livestock remedy preparation and oral application of remedies was found the highest. However, Endalew (2007) reported roots as the major plant part used for livestock remedy preparation followed by leaf.
