Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The utilization of herbal remedies in veterinary medicine has gained increasing attention due to their potential therapeutic benefits and minimal side effects. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of herbal remedies in treating common ailments in companion animals. The research involved a comprehensive review of the literature to identify relevant herbal remedies and their reported benefits in animal healthcare. A total of 10 herbal remedies commonly used in veterinary practice were selected for detailed evaluation. The research methodology included in vitro and in vivo experiments to assess the efficacy and safety of the selected herbal remedies in treating common ailments such as digestive disorders, skin conditions, and respiratory infections in companion animals. The experiments involved the administration of the herbal remedies to animal models with induced ailments, followed by monitoring of clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters. The results were analyzed using statistical methods to determine the effectiveness of the herbal remedies compared to standard treatments. The findings of the study revealed that several herbal remedies demonstrated promising therapeutic effects in alleviating the symptoms of common ailments in companion animals. Specifically, herbal remedies such as chamomile, ginger, and echinacea showed significant anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which could be beneficial in managing a range of health conditions in animals. Moreover, the herbal remedies were well-tolerated with minimal adverse effects reported during the study. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the efficacy of herbal remedies in treating common ailments in companion animals and highlights the potential of integrating herbal medicine into veterinary practice as a complementary treatment option to conventional therapies. The findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of herbal remedies in animal healthcare and underscore the importance of further research to explore their full therapeutic potential.
