Livestock is an integral component of agriculture production in Yemen. The aim of our work resides in the scientific substantiation of the ethnoveterinary use of some plants [1] based on the evaluation of their bioactivities and toxicological properties. Searching the scientific literature has revealed various pharmacological activities that may support the claimed healing activities of eleven [Tab. 1] out of fourteen remedies for some of their ethnoveterinary utilization. Moreover, three remedies were found to demonstrate toxic effects in experimental studies [Tab. 1]. It can be concluded that our work has provided valuable scientific information on some Yemeni plants that could be utilized for the benefit of farmers to rational the use of plants.
