Plantas usadas en la practica etnoveterinaria en el Nuorese (Cerdena, Italia)

Nowadays, the use of traditional herbal remedies in Veterinary medicine is very small in Europe, mainly due to the shift to the synthetic pharmaceutical compounds. In spite of the fact that these traditional practices persist in the Mediterranean area, they have been not much studied. In this paper, the authors study for the first time the natural remedies that are still used in the central zone of Sardinia (Nuorese region) as dietary supplements for livestock, in order to ameliorate the quality of the ovine, bovine and porcine meat, as well as the quality of the milk of ovine and bovine livestock.
