“…Se encontró un resultado similar en corderos lecheros alimentados con leche descartada (15). Ya en 2012, los investigadores descubrieron que un complejo homeopático a los lechones durante la fase de lactancia tenía una eficacia del 95.23% para prevenir la diarrea (13). Estos resultados, así como los presentados en el presente estudio, muestran que los productos homeopáticos pueden ser una excelente solución para minimizar o prevenir la diarrea en animales.…”

“…Para minimizar los impactos de la diarrea causada por Giardia sp., se han buscado productos alternativos, incluidos los preventivos y los productos curativos homeopáticos que tratan la diarrea (12). La prevención y el tratamiento de la enteritis con homeopatía en animales de granja han mostrado buenos resultados (13,14,15). Sin embargo, para las mascotas, no se han estudiado los efectos de los agentes antiparasitarios combinados con agentes homeopáticos para el tratamiento de Giardia.…”

Dogs with Giardia infections have diarrhea that persists for days, even after treatment. We managed canine giardiasis using two distinct approaches: treatment with the antiprotozoan secnidazole alone; and secnidazole plus a homeopathic product that is indicated for control of diarrhea in dogs. Treatment I: Ten beagle dogs showed clinical signs of severe diarrhea. Their feces revealed large numbers of cysts consistent with Giardia sp. Therefore, we treated the dogs with secnidazole (10 mg/kg, single dose) given orally. Five days after treatment, all dogs were negative for Giardia spp. Treatment II: Three months later, the same ten Beagles again presented with diarrhea. Feces were collected, revealing Giardia sp. in all dogs. This time, we treated them with an antiprotozoan (secnidazole, 10 mg/kg dose) combined with a commercial homeopathic drug for diarrhea control (3 g dose/animal at 12 h interval). We found that three to five homeopathic doses were needed to achieve normal fecal scores in all dogs. After 5 days of treatment, stool samples had normal consistency and were negative for Giardia. This is the first record of using secnidazole to control canine giardiasis associated with homeopathic drugs to prevent diarrhea.

“…Homeopathic products have been of benefit to various categories of animal in pig farming. Indeed, compared with antibiotics, HPs have been shown to improve performance and prevent diarrhoea in young pigs (Coelho et al, 2009;Kiefer et al, 2012). Moreover, they have been reported to reduce the number of animals with intestinal disorders, promote weight gain (Coelho et al, 2014), and improve the percentage and quality of meat and the marbling of the pig carcass.…”

Homeopathic products (HP) are a preventive and therapeutic alternative in pig farming. This study evaluated the effect of the concentration of dietary HP on performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and plasma metabolites of growing-finishing pigs. A total of 60 crossbred male pigs (Agroceres PIC × DanBred), immunocastrated at 90 and 120 days old, with an initial BW of 30.71 ± 2.60 kg were allocated in a completely randomized design to three treatments: i) control diet (CT), without HP), ii) CT + HP1 (Figotonus® and Sanoplus®) (1 g/kg of diet), and iii) CT + HP2 (Figotonus and Sanoplus) (2 g/kg of diet). The results indicate that pigs fed diets containing HP2 had a greater average daily gain compared with those fed the control diet, although a higher feed efficiency was observed when pigs were fed the HP1 diet. Animals fed the HP2 diet showed a slight increase in initial postmortem pH in the Longissimus dorsi muscle compared to the control group. Pigs fed HP2 showed a higher initial temperature in the L. dorsi than those fed the control diet. However, there was no effect on plasma metabolite concentration. Based on the results of the present study, the HP1 diet enhanced the performance of finishing pigs without negative effects on meat traits and plasma metabolites.

“…19 When administered correctly, HP have been shown to be effective in the treatment and prevention of diarrhea in piglets, with greater efficiency than antibiotics. 20,21 When associated or not with biotherapy, they can reduce the number of animals with diarrhea and increase body weight gain. 22 Previously studies conducted with other species also reported that homeopathic combinations were able to improve carcass yield of poultry, 23 increase final body weight and carcass yield of steers, 24 improve growing, survival and immune function in juvenile scallops, 25 improve meat coloration, decrease stress and contribute to the welfare and quality of beef, 26 and exhibit higher polyunsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio than controls in Nile tilapia fish.…”

Homeopathic Products as a Complementary Dietary Additive for Pigs in their Growing and Finishing Phases

et al. 2022

Background Homeopathic products (HP) have been proposed for the prevention of disease and as a complementary dietary additive in pig farming, with resulting improved performance and quality of life of the animals and with benefits for food safety. The aim of this study was to assess the addition of HP to pig feed and its effects on growth performance, dietary protein utilization, nutrient digestibility, meat quality, and economic feasibility. Methods A total of 80 male pigs, body weight 32.8±2.3kg, were allocated in a randomized design, with two treatments of 10 replications and four animals per experimental unit. Treatments were composed of a control diet (CD) or CD+HP (Finalvitaplus+Figotonus, 1.1kg/ton feed of each product). The outcome measures used were growth performance (body weight gain) and feed efficiency (body weight gain per unit of feed consumed), efficiency of dietary protein utilization (blood urea nitrogen), nutrient digestibility (apparent digestibility coefficient and apparent nutrient digestibility), meat quality (including pH, temperature, color, liquid loss by cooking and thawing, intramuscular fat and meat tenderness), and economic feasibility (cost of the diets). Results There was no effect (p >0.05) of treatments on growth performance of the pigs, though the group that received HP showed an 8.93% greater feed efficiency than the control group (p=0.077). The animals in the control group had a 14.37% higher blood urea nitrogen concentration in the finishing I phase (70–100kg body weight) compared with those fed HP (p=0.028), indicating lower protein utilization in the controls. There was comparative improvement in digestibility coefficient and in nutrient digestibility in pigs fed HP in the growing–finishing phase (p <0.05). There was no differential effect of treatments on meat quality or economic feasibility (p >0.05). Conclusion The addition of HP to the diet of growing–finishing pigs produced some improvement in their dietary protein utilization, nutrient digestibility and feed efficiency, though it did not affect their growth performance, meat quality or economic feasibility.
