背景:在许多文明中,使用药用植物治疗各种兽医疾病已经实践了数千年。旁遮普邦是一个不同种族社区的家园,他们中的大多数从事奶牛养殖,农业,和相关专业,并有使用本土植物治疗动物疾病的本土做法。这项研究旨在(1)记录和保存有关旁遮普邦居民在民族兽药中应用药用植物物种的信息,巴基斯坦,和(2)通过对获得的数据进行定量分析来鉴定用于疾病治疗的流行植物,并评估这些物种的药理学相关性。
方法:要从线人那里收集数据(N=279),采用问卷调查和半结构化访谈。民族兽医数据采用主成分分析进行分析,相对频率引文,保真度水平,相对受欢迎程度,和等级顺序优先级。
结果:共发现114种植物用于民族兽医学系统,分为56个家庭,用于治疗16种不同的疾病。禾本科科,有16种,是该地区最常见的。草药制剂中最常用的生长形式是草药(49%)。种族兽药中使用最多的部分是叶子(35%),而粉末是制备民族兽药最常用的方法(51种应用)。根据主成分分析,研究地区最常用的物种是草。五株草(阿伦多·多纳克斯,Desmostachyabipinnata,伊利usineindica,大麦,和狼尾草)用于治疗利尿剂时显示100%的FL值,蠕虫病,消化问题,发烧,咳嗽,蠕虫侵扰,消化不良,半乳糖,口腔感染,和生殖器脱垂.在研究区域中,体内和体外寄生虫疾病的疾病治愈水平(DCL%)的最大值为87.6%。
结论:这项研究表明,药用植物在满足农民的动物保健需求方面发挥着重要作用。使其成为可行的实践。该研究还提供了关于进一步规划和应用的民族兽医方法的丰富知识,为负担不起对抗疗法的农民提供选择。
BACKGROUND: The use of medicinal plants to treat various veterinary illnesses has been practiced for millennia in many civilizations. Punjab is home to a diverse ethnic community, the majority of whom work in dairy farming, agriculture, and allied professions and have indigenous practices of treating animal illnesses using native flora. This study was designed to (1) document and preserve information about the applications of medicinal plant species in ethnoveterinary remedies among inhabitants of Punjab, Pakistan, and (2) identify popular plants for disease treatment by quantitative analysis of the obtained data and to assess the pharmacological relevance of these species.
METHODS: To collect data from informants (N = 279), questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used. The ethnoveterinary data were analyzed using principal component analysis, relative frequency citation, fidelity level, relative popularity level, and rank order priority.
RESULTS: A total of 114 plant species utilized in the ethnoveterinary medicinal system were found, which were divided into 56 families and used to treat 16 different illnesses. The Poaceae family, with 16 species, was the most common in the region. The most commonly employed growth form in herbal preparation was herb (49%). The most used part in ethnoveterinary remedies was leaves (35%), while powder was the most commonly used way for preparing ethnoveterinary remedies (51 applications). According to principal component analysis, the most typically used species in the research region were grasses. Five grasses (Arundo donax, Desmostachya bipinnata, Eleusine indica, Hordeum vulgare, and Pennisetum glaucum) showed a 100% FL value when used to treat diuretics, helminthiasis, digestive problems, fever, cough, worm infestation, indigestion, galactagogue, oral infections, and genital prolapse. The maximum value of disease cured level (DCL%) was recorded at 87.6% for endo- and ecto-parasitic ailments in the study area.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that medicinal plants play an important part in satisfying farmers\' animal healthcare demands, making it a feasible practice. The study also provides a wealth of knowledge regarding ethnoveterinary methods for further planning and application, providing an option for farmers who cannot afford allopathic therapy.
