Summary

This research investigates the use of a deproteinized calf blood extract, known as Solcoseryl, to promote healing in foot lesions of horses and donkeys. The study uses both induced and naturally-occurring lesions in a population of 30 animals for experimentation.

Methodology

  • The research involved two types of foot lesions in horses and donkeys: those that were naturally-occurring and those that were purposely induced for the study.
  • A total of 30 horses and donkeys were used in the study, and the deproteinized calf blood extract called Solcoseryl was administered to the animals.

Results

  • The results showed that this calf blood extract enhanced the rate and quality of healing in the foot lesions.
  • The authors found that the extract was effective not only in the induced lesions, but also the natural ones, demonstrating its potential usefulness in a real-world setting.

    • Conclusion

  • The research concludes that deproteinized calf blood extract, specifically Solcoseryl, could be a viable treatment option for foot lesions in horses and donkeys.
  • As it has been shown to enhance the healing of both artificially induced and naturally-occurring lesions, the calf blood extract could be utilized in practical veterinary medicine.
  • However, further research would likely be required to establish long-term efficacy and safety, and to determine the best methods of application for different types of lesions and individuals.
