1.0. Introduction

Numerous steps marked the evolution of the art of healing, yet it becomes difficult to
delimit them accurately, since medicine has long been associated with magical, mystical
and ritualistic practices. In this perspective, recognizing the importance of relations
between man and natural means cognitive advance, where science is used to protect
cultural heritage and biodiversity (SANTOS et al, 2008).

The treatment of diseases in production animals from medicinal plants, or their

derivatives, is an ancient practice and which is currently in the form of stretching at
various points in the world (MELO et al, 2007).

1.1. Objectives
1.1.1. General
 Analyze the use of faunistic and floral resources employed in popular medicine.
1.1.2. Specific
 Inventory the different species of animals and plants used in zotterapy an
phytotherapy.
 Identify the types of treated diseases.
 To obtain information regarding the parts of medicinal species and the method
of preparing medicinal products.
1.2. Methodologies

In order to achieve the objectives described, the research was developed according to
the following methodology: Literature review was carried out in order to emphasize the
technological evolutions of diagnosis in production animals. Searches were performed
on databases such as pubmed, science direct, google academic.
2.0. Theoretical reference
2.1. Traditional medicines of animals

The adoption of medicinal plants in animal production is promising and tends to grow
with advances in technology and with partnerships between entities and companies. In
relation to the benefits in relation to the quality of the final product and the animal
welfare, there is a reduction in costs generated by the purchase of medications and
environmental risks in creation. Medicinal plants are effective in any area of animal
breeding.

Research on tick control is extremely important for the cattle, it is a parasite that limits
productivity and livestock development (CASTRO et al, 2009). It is estimated that 75%
of cattle is affected by the ectoparasite, and in Mozambique it is on of the creation of
bovines, causing damages that go in addition to the costs of purchasing acaricides, sice
ticks are routes of transmission of pathologens that cause babesia bovis, babesia
bigemina and anaplasma marginale ( AGNOLIN, 2012).

According to a study carried out by CASTRO et al, (2009), different plants medicinal
products are being tested for tick control in cattle. In this experiment, the authors
evaluated the in vitro efficacy of Brazilian pine extract (araucaria angustifolia) in the
control of cattle ticks (rhipicephalus microplus), tested in two concentracoes of 15%,
30% of the ethanol pine.

For the prophylaxis of certain diseases, local producers use the following plants:
mastruz, garlic, aroeira, barbatimao, chamomile, lemongrass, pomegranate, rosemary,
aloe, cloves and pumpkin, accordingly with the results obtained, the authors state that
the plants tested were effective in combating endoparasites and ectoparasites, fungi,
wounds and inflammations.
3.0. Conclusion

Throughout the development of this work I was able to verify that the use of traditional
medicines will provide a lot in the low costs of supplements, compared to
pharmaceutical medicines. The use of medicinal plants in Mozambique is a common
practice resulting from the strong cultural influence of mixed-race indigenous peoples,
African tradicions, from three centuries of slave trade, and from the European culture,
brought by the colonizers.
