In this study, the medicinal plants used in the treatment of livestock diseases by the rural people living in Ayvalık district
(Balıkesir) were determined. In addition, how and for what purposes these plants are used was investigated. A total of
50 informants such as breeders, shepherds and farmers were selected randomly for the study. Data were collected through
semi-structured interview, focus group discussions, observation and guided field walk with informants. The collected data
were analyzed through RFC, ICF, UV, FL, PPV and FUV. A total of 46 taxa of plants distributed in 44 genera belonging to
25 families were identified as commonly used ethnomedicinal for livestock diseases. The most cited families were
Hypericaceae (FUV = 0.7), Oleaceae (FUV = 0.6), Pinaceae (FUV = 0.4) and Amaryllidaceae (FUV = 0.35). The majority
of the remedies were prepared from infusion (53.9%). Leaves were the most frequently used plant part (PPV 0.31) and
Hypericum perforatum subsp. veronense (UV) was the species most commonly prescribed by local people. The reported
ailments were classified into 11 disease categories based on ICF values and the highest number of plant taxa was reported to
treat gastrointestinal, lactation, dermatological and parasitic disorders. The results of this study showed that people living in
the Ayvalık district are still dependent on medicinal and aromatic plants for animal diseases. The documented plants can
serve as a basis for further studies on the region’s medicinal plants knowledge and for future phytochemical and
pharmacological studies.
