Plants used in traditional veterinary medicine of the montane forests in northern Peru: Socioeconomic aspects and knowledge transmission
The veterinary use of medicinal plants practiced by the population of two cattle regions in the montane forests of northern Peru were compared. The objectives of the study were: (1) to collect information on veterinary uses and medicinal plants typical of two cattle regions in the Amazonas Department: Leimebamba and Molinopampa districts; (2) evaluate the influence of socioeconomic factors on veterinary knowledge about medicinal plants; (3) understand the transmission of traditional knowledge between age groups (18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, >60 years). Semi-structured interviews were carried out (n=120), complementing ethnobotanical questions on socioeconomic aspects. The weight of the socioeconomic factors in the knowledge about medicinal plants and veterinary uses of each basin was done through a multidimensional scaling. In addition, mixed linear models and Fisher's LSD test were used to determine differences between age groups. It was recorded 72 species from 33 plant families. The number of species and veterinary uses mentioned was higher in the Molinopampa district, characterized by having a lower level of development than the Leimebamba district. The scatter plot separated the localities of each district between them. Traditional knowledge showed an increase according to age, with a decrease in the older group. In conclusion, traditional knowledge about medicinal plants for veterinary applications is widely used among the population of the montane forests of northern Peru, with a negative influence in terms of socio-economic improvements, with a transmission to young people, not uniform but constant.

Se compararon los usos veterinarios de plantas medicinales practicados entre la población de dos cuencas ganaderas de los bosques montanos del norte de Perú. Los objetivos del estudio fueron: (1) recolectar información sobre usos veterinarios y plantas medicinales propias de dos cuencas ganaderas del departamento Amazonas: distritos de Leimebamba y Molinopampa, y (2) evaluar la influencia de los factores socioeconómicos en los conocimientos veterinarios sobre plantas medicinales; (3) comprender la transmisión del conocimiento tradicional entre grupos etarios (18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, >60 años). Se realizaron 120 entrevistas semiestructuradas que complementaban preguntas etnobotánicas con cuestiones socioeconómicas. El peso de los factores socioeconómicos en el conocimiento sobre plantas medicinales y usos veterinarios propio de cada cuenca se hizo mediante un escalamiento multidimensional. Además, se usaron modelos lineares mixtos y la prueba LSD de Fisher para determinar diferencias entre grupos etarios. Se registraron 72 especies de 33 familias de plantas. El número de especies y usos veterinarios citados fue superior en la cuenca de Molinopampa, caracterizada por poseer un nivel de desarrollo inferior a la cuenca de Leimebamba. El gráfico de dispersión separó las localidades de cada cuenca entre ellas. El conocimiento tradicional mostró un aumento acorde con la edad, con un descenso en el grupo >60 años. En conclusión, el conocimiento tradicional sobre plantas medicinales de uso veterinario es ampliamente utilizado entre la población de los bosques montanos del norte de Perú, con una influencia negativa en cuanto a las mejoras socioeconómicas, existiendo una transmisión hacia los jóvenes, no uniforme pero constante.
