The aim of the present study was to identify poisonous plants for livestock, signs of poisoning, indigenous methods of treatment by exploiting tribes and also to identify medicinal plants for livestock and how to use them and their healing properties. The selection of the population was a statistically responsive sample from the local communities. In this study, the respondent population consisted of Turkmen nomads in the Maravah Tappeh rangelands. In this study, purposive sampling and snowball method were used; a number of experienced exploitation nomads were selected for the initial interview. After designing the topic and gaining their trust and confidence in the research topic, the questionnaire was prepared and its validity and reliability were examined. Simultaneously with the field survey, a number of questionnaires were provided to the selected exploiting tribes. The validity of the questionnaire was calculated and determined by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for different criteria. The named plants were identified. Finally, 26 poisonous plants and 24 medicinal plants for livestock were introduced by farmers.

For this purpose, a total of 50 interviews were conducted and the information received was documented by writing commentary points and recording audio and video .Then, data analysis was performed using content analysis methods. According to the results of the research, the traditional charcoal extraction steps include digging a trapezoidal charcoal kiln, cutting wood into trees and arranging them in the kiln, installing a chimney at the inlet and outlet, covering the wood surface with Dried leaves, covering the leaf insulation with soil, lighting the charcoal furnace by fire and closing its opening, turning the wood into charcoal in a certain time, cooling the charcoal furnace and unloading and loading. Due to the lack of a well-codified and up-to-date source of traditional charcoal method in the available sources, the present study is a pioneer in terms of paying attention to this indigenous knowledge and its results, in addition to recording local knowledge of charcoal production, used it in teaching the method of application of wood waste from dried, blown or pruned trees, especially emphasized in garden ecosystems.
