Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Ringworm is an infectious disease of animals caused by different species of keratinophilic fungi. Disease in horses can be ranging from mild to severe lesions. In horses, most dermatophyte lesions are found in areas of contact with saddles or other tack. Treatment is generally topical because systemic therapy is expensive. Herbal medicine has been formulated and used as an integral part of primary health care in some countries. These natural plants involve Garlic and Aloe vera. In this study a total of 10 affected horses in two groups, were subjected under the routine treatment and treatment with Garlic and Aloe vera gel, respectively. Periodic observations of two groups showed the comparable results. Results of 5-day intervals suggested a progressive improvement in both groups. A desirable response to treatment was seen by the 25th day in each method.
