Currently, traditional ethnoveterinary practices are rare in Europe and the plants used previously have been replaced by the modern drugs used by national veterinary services. However, in some rural areas of the Mediterranean basin these traditional practices persist. Here we analyze the plant resources still used, or that have been used up until recently, for the treatment of the health and comfort of animals in a region in the central-western part of the Iberian Peninsula, the Arribes del Duero. We document the use of 84 species, belonging to 39 families (with a total of 2243 use-reports), and 62 herbal remedies based on the use of a single plant species (43) and cited by at least three independent informants. The veterinary use of the Ranunculaceae Clematis campaniflora is reported for the first time. We also identify several plants used as bedding or fodder for livestock and discuss the relevance of some toxic plants and some "magical-curative" aspects reported in the territory.
目前，传统的兽医实践在欧洲很少见，以前使用的植物已被国家兽医服务机构使用的现代药物所取代。然而，在地中海盆地的一些农村地区，这些传统做法仍然存在。在这里，我们分析了在伊比利亚半岛中西部的一个地区，即杜罗河的阿瑞贝斯，仍然用于治疗动物健康和舒适的植物资源，或者直到最近才使用的植物资源。我们记录了 84 种植物的使用情况，这些植物属于 39 个科（共有 2243 种用途报告），以及 62 种基于单一植物物种（43 种）的草药，这些草药由至少三个独立的信息提供者引用。毛茛科铁线莲的兽医用途首次被报道。我们还发现了一些被用作牲畜垫料或饲料的植物，并讨论了报告的一些有毒植物和一些“神奇治疗”方面的相关性。
