Controlling animal diseases
People use the following plants and shrubs to treat different animal and poultry diseases and disorders (Komwihangilo et al.,1993). Euphorbia spp (Mtakalang onyo) stem is pounded and the mother liquor is used to expel retained placenta in cows. Stegnotaenia araliaceae leaves are pounded and mixed with water to treat goats and cattle which experience difficulty in breathing. The roots of Maerua edulis are mixed with ‘mtumba’ (Boscia grandiflora Gilg) to treat poultry diseases.
