Abstract
Aim:
This study
aims to identify the dominant viral animal pathologies and to
list the traditional recipes used by the breeders for their
treatment.
Materials and
Methods:
The method of data
collection was based on a retrospective survey. Thus, 787
breeders and agro-breeders scattered in the eight
agro-ecological areas of Benin were interviewed using
semi-structured questionnaires.
Results:
In total, 5
pathologies were reported by breeders. Among those pathologies,
foot and mouth disease was reported by all of the breeders of
the southern part of Borgou compared with the other areas
(p<0.05) and treated by 25 species of medicinal plants. African
swine fever was the main pathology reported (22.92%) (p<0.05) in
the fishery areas which is controlled by 7 medicinal plants.
Pseudorinderpest was more reported (33.78%) (p<0.05) in the
cotton area of central Benin and treated by 8 medicinal plants.
There is also Newcastle disease that was mostly reported in the
Western Atacora and treated by 32 medicinal plants as well as
fowl pox which was a more reported in the lands of the bar area
and the low-pressure area about 34.48% and 36.17% proportions,
respectively, and treated by eight medicinal plants.
Conclusion:
The
breeders in Benin possess rich ethno veterinary knowledge on
medicinal plants and their uses in the treatment of livestock. A
total of 57 medicinal plants have been inventoried to fight
against five major viral diseases as African swine fever,
pseudorinderpest and foot and mouth disease. The common plants
used to treat viral disease in general were Euphorbia
unispina, Euphorbia poissonii, Lannea acida,
and Mangifera indica. The most harvested organs on the
plants reported in this survey were the barks, the leaves, and
the whole plants. To better develop our indigenous resources, it
would be important to expand this ethno-pharmacological
investigation to other diseases category.
Keywords:
Benin, ethnoveterinary survey, medicinal plants, viral diseases.
