Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This investigation was carried out to determine the effects of thuza and antim crud (Homeopathic preparations) on bovine cutaneous papillomatosis/wart. Nine calves of one to two and a half years age and of both sexes affected with cutaneous papillomatosis were randomly divided into three equal groups (group I, group II and group Ill) for this experiment from March 2002 to February 2003. Each calf of group I was first administered with 15 globules sulphur with a potency of 200-power once orally. This was followed after 7 days with 50M (M = 1000-power) thuza at the dose rate of 10 globules twice daily orally for a period of three weeks. The calves of group II were administered with sulphur and antim crud at the same dose, potency, route and duration, respectively and the calves of group III were kept as untreated control. Papilloma tissues were collected prior to treatment and at the sixth week of treatment and they were subjected to histopathological examination. Thuza and antim crud with concurrent use of sulphur were found effective in curing bovine cutaneous papillomatosis with a rate of 66.66% (4/6). Little or no reduction in size of the papillomas was observed within the first two weeks of treatment in both the treated groups (group I and group II). Thereafter, miniature size sessile and pedunculated papillomas started drying with the gradual reduction in size that fell leaving hairless areas at the end of fourth week. By the eighth week there was complete cure of papillomas. One calf of each treated groups (group I and group II) affected with large papillomas (5 X 7 cm) were not completely cured. Microscopic examination of regressive papillomas at sixth week of treatment showed cellular necrosis. Growth recurrence was not observed within one month of recovery. In the untreated control group (group IIl) the number and size of papillomas increased. Therefore, this line of treatment may be practiced for the treatment of bovine papillomatosis.

Objectives:

To determine the effects of thuza and antim crud (Homeopathic preparations) on bovine cutaneous papillomatosis/wart.

Methodology:

Nine calves of both sexes and age ranging one to two and a half years affected with cutaneous papillomatosis were selected from nearby villages of Bangladesh Agricultural University during the period of March 2002 to February 2003. The calves were randomly divided into three groups (group I group II and group III) and each group consisted of three calves. Each calf of group I was first administered with 15 globules sulphur of 200-power once orally. This was followed after seven days with 50M (1000-power) thuza at the dose rate of 10 globules orally twice daily for a period of three week. The calves of group II were administered with sulphur and antim crud at the same dose, potency, route and duration and the calves of group III were kept as untreated control. The papilloma tissues were collected prior to starting of treatment and at sixth week of treatment. The collected tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, processed, sectioned, stained following standard procedure and examined under light microscope. The calves were observed for three month.
