Abstract

Dermal and otic diseases of domestic canines and felines are frequent and very difficult to treat. In these species the presentation of mammary tumors is also frequent, whose surgical wounds are usually long and there is a lot of bleeding, difficult to control. On the other hand, ornamental birds need good food for their health and sometimes it is difficult to obtain food supplements that benefit them. In search of therapeutic options that are effective, economical and harmonious with the environment, the use of two products developed by the Research Center for the Mining and Metallurgical Industry (CIPIMM), DEOSEC-F, has properties such as antifungal, antibacterial secant and hemostatic and ZEONUT which is a nutritional supplement. On these bases, a study was conducted in which their effectiveness was evaluated in the treatment of these diseases and in the nutrition of these species. For this, three studies were carried out. In the first, 30 dogs and 6 cats that suffered from skin and ear diseases were used. Half the conventional treatment was applied and the other DEOSEC-F. In the second, 60 dogs operated on breast tumors with long and bleeding superficial surgical wounds were worked on. Halfway DEOSEC-F was applied until the hemostasis was observed and halfway there was not. In the third they were administered to 30 ornamental birds (personatas and lovebirds), of 60, the ZEONUT product. The results showed that the application of these products was effective in all the animals studied according to their property and it was recommended that the studies be expanded in a larger sample and in other animal species.
