“…According to RAMSEY et al (1995), wound contraction is enhanced in areas where the skin is looser and more mobile, such as the skin of the trunk, which explains the occurrence in the present study. Faster healing in the lumbar region, when compared to the metacarpal region, was also observed in the study of OLIVEIRA JR. et al (2012) who studied the effects of sunflower oil on experimental skin wounds in horses.…”

“…According to MADISON & GRONWALL (1992), in the equine species, the shape of the wound does not interfere with healing time. OLIVEIRA JR. et al (2012) also used this model in their experimental study of wounds in horses.…”

“…Any interference resulting from the systemic application of anti-inflammatory phenylbutazone would occur both in the control and treated wounds. OLIVEIRA JR. et al (2012) and MARTINS et al (2013) also used phenylbutazone during the postoperative period in studies evaluating skin healing in the equine species.…”

“…Although phytotherapic products and associations (OLIVEIRA et al, 2012;RIBEIRO et al, 2013) have been used to treat skin lesions in horses, little research has been done to show any beneficial effects, and there have been no published reports of using copaiba oil in equine wound healing. In horses, SOUZA et al (2003) described a period of 35 days for lumbar wound healing and 34 days for metacarpal wound healing when using Triticum vulgare.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 10% copaiba oil in experimentally induced wounds in horses. Four wounds were made in the lumbar and metacarpal regions of eight adult horses. In the treatment group, the wounds received 10% copaiba oil and in the control group 0.9% sodium chloride, in the daily dressing for 21 days. The wounds were evaluated three, 7, 14, and 21 days postoperatively. No significant differences were observed between the groups. The mean lumbar wound contraction rates were 80.54% and 69.64%, for the control and treated groups, respectively. For the wounds in the metacarpal region, these averages were 44.15% and 52.48%, respectively. Under the experimental conditions of the present study, it is concluded that 10% copaiba oil has beneficial in wound healing in the equine species and suggest that copaiba oil can be used as a therapeutic possibility in equine wound therapy.

“…It is considered as the healthiest edible oil due to its nutritious composition. The oil has many health benefit effects when either ingested orally or applied topically (skin and hair) [2]. Due to its emollient (moisturizing) property, it helps maintaining skin moisture content [3].…”
