This study documents traditional ethnoveterinary practices in British Columbia, where local farmers and pet owners use plant-based remedies to treat stomach disorders and internal parasites in pigs and companion animals. Aloe vera, among other plants, was
identified as a commonly used remedy for digestive issues due to its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. The research underscores the value of community knowledge in animal health care, highlighting the potential of these natural treatments as accessible, low-cost alternatives to conventional drugs—particularly in remote or underserved areas. The authors advocate further scientific validation of these traditional remedies for broader veterinary application.
