Resumo
The construction of human knowledge about the use of medicinal plants came from the observation of
the animal-plant relationship and the redemption of valuable information in this field of knowledge, little researched in
the Brazilian Cerrado, can be helpful in the establishment of new relations and/or maintenance of those already
existing. The aim of this study was to investigate and register the local knowledge about plants for medicinal purposes
in veterinary medicine. The 28 informants were sampled by the "snowball" and subjected to semi-structured
interviews. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance and descriptive statistics. Ethnovet knowledge of
men and women was significantly higher among women (P <0.0001). The plants mentioned were collected,
botanically identified and grouped into 21 families and 25 genera. Fabaceae and Euphorbiaceae species presented
more frequently cited (14% each). The growth habit of tree species was predominant (44%). The reported indications
were grouped into eight categories of use and DSTe category (disorders of the integumentary system) had the highest
factor of consensus among informants (ICF = 0.53). Established use-values reported (RU), using consensus (UCs)
and diversity of use (DUs) the species Chiococca brachiata Ruiz & Pav., Chenopodium ambrosioides L.,
Stryphnodendron adstringens (Mart.) Coville and Strychnos pseudoquina A. St. - Hil., proved to be those of greatest
ethnoveterinary importance for the population searched. This study allowed a preliminary survey of plants for
veterinary therapeutic use in the region recovering the veterinarian local knowledge and generated information that
may be useful for future research.
