This case study highlights the efficacy of Provilan Probiotic Dermo Care (previously called Wound Spray at the time of the study) in treating a 15cm wound on a dairy cow.
In this case, probiotic therapy eliminated the need for disinfectants and antibiotics, and reduced healing time from the expected 14 days to 8 days.
The wound was cleaned with warm water and sprayed twice daily. Once healing was visible, the application reduced to once daily. The probiotic spray's bio-competition process promoted healing by simply crowding out pathogenic bacteria and rebuilding the skin's microflora.
The cow avoided both isolation and antibiotic withdrawal periods. Her milk remained suitable for human consumption, saving the farmer time and production costs.
Key Takeaways for Veterinary Practice
- Accelerated Healing: Provilan Probiotic Dermo Care Spray can help to reduce wound healing time, improving animal welfare.
- Antimicrobial Resistance Reduction: By helping to avoid or reduce the quantity of antibiotics, and by avoiding the development of antimicrobial resistance, this approach supports antimicrobial stewardship.
- Economic Advantages: Can aid faster recovery and reduce withdrawal periods, helping to reduce production losses for dairy farms.
- Microbiome Support: Probiotic therapy restores microbial balance, reducing infection risk without the need for disinfectants.
- Practical Application: The spray is easy to administer, making it a viable addition to veterinary treatment protocols for wounds in livestock.
Note: This case study references the product previously branded as ANNAA+ Wound Care/LUCAA+ Dermo Care, now available under the Provilan Vet brand. The formulation remains unchanged, ensuring the same trusted results for veterinary professionals.
