Özet

Medicinal plants used in the treatment of animals in Rize province in northeast of Turkiye were recorded through semi-structured interviews with farmers and shepherds. The collected data were analyzed using the quantitative indices informant consensus factor (FIC) and fidelity level (FL). It was identified that a total of 38 plants belonging to 30 families were found used in ethnoveterinary. The most cited families were Fabaceae and Asteraceae. The highest FIC was recorded for digestive system diseases (0.93), followed by skin diseases (0.88) and milk production (0.85). The high FL values were Datisca cannabina L. for varroa, Malva sylvestris L. for wound healing, and Sambucus ebulus L. for external parasite (respectively 100%). Ethnoveterinary uses of Datisca cannabina L., Caltha palustris L., Bryum schleicheri Schwagr., Adiantum capillus-veneris L., Solidago virgaurea L. were recorded for the first time.
