EFFECTS OF NATURAL HONEY AND GLUE ON CUTANEOUS WOUND HEALING IN HILL GOATS

Abstract

Wounds are one of the main surgical problems in animal health; the clinician seeks to obtain wound care for healing promotion to decrease hazards for variety of skin wounds. Closure of wounds is often needed to promote wound healing and to produce an acceptable cosmetic result. The aim of our dissertation is to assess the clinical effects of honey and glue on the healing process of full- thickness skin wounds. Five animals were used in the this experimental study and full thickness skin wounds were created on the lateral aspect of left and right lower thigh muscles in all experimental animals.. The right lower thigh wounds were covered with honey and the left ones were covered with glue and left without dressing or topical antibiotics. The clinicopathological observations which were recorded inflammation, swelling and pain were quickly reduced, clean sterile wound ,contraction of wound size were hastened(figure7,8), and healing occurs rapidly.
