Resumen
Se propone dar a conocer e interpretar, el uso y la significación de las plantas en la veterinaria tradicional de la Sierra de Ancasti (Catamarca, Argentina). Mediante el empleo de métodos y técnicas de investigación etnobotánica se documentaron los taxones de dolencias vernáculas, y un total de 62 usos medicinales correspondientes a 43 especies pertenecientes a 30 familias botánicas. Las principales aplicaciones medicinales son: cicatrizantes, digestivas, antiparasitarias y oxitócicas. Se analizó el rol de las especies tóxicas y peligrosas en la veterinaria local. Junto al repertorio de plantas, se presentan otras técnicas terapéuticas populares, así como prácticas culturales de tipo religioso-ritual. Finalmente, se analiza la tensión entre tradición y modernidad en este campo del saber. Se concluye que, a pesar de que el conocimiento etnoveterinario resulta relevante en cantidad de especies y usos, existe un creciente abandono de su praxis, lo que podría devenir en la extinción de la experiencia.
