| Sumario: | This study was aimed to evaluate the wound healing activity of both green and chemical Zinc
oxide Nanoparticles in equine. Ten animals (nine donkeys and one horse) suffered from
traumatized infected or non-infected wounds were used in this study. The visible signs of wound
infection were evaluated in six cases, while the other four cases were admitted with fresh recent
wounds. Animals were topically treated once a day in and day out and monitored for three weeks.
It was observed that, the macroscopic wound contraction percents in animals treated with green
Zinc oxide Nanoparticles gel in 1st, 2nd and 3rd weeks were 45%, 76%, and 93.6% respectively.
While, those which treated with chemical Zinc oxide Nanoparticles gel were 40.4%, 67.2%, and
90.6% respectively. The study revealed that, green Zinc oxide Nanoparticles gel accelerated the
wound healing and cleared the wound infection faster when compared to chemical Zinc oxide
Nanoparticles gel. It was concluded that, topical green Zinc oxide Nanoparticles gel can
significantly accelerate the process of wound healing and clear the wound infections in wounded
equine from clinical field cases. |
