Abstract:
Present study was conducted on 12 calves having fresh wound of size 16-25 cm² anywhere on the body except joints to evaluate the wound healing using fresh Aloe vera leaf paste. These were randomly divided into two groups for further treatment. Wounds of group I were treated with normal saline solution whereas, that of group II were applied with Aloe vera leaf paste. In the initial day’s observation revealed necrotic foci, haemorrhagic spots and serofibrinous exudates without any trace of epidermal growth in both groups whereas few fibroblasts and angioblasts cells were too discernible in the regenerating dermis and maximum of it was seen Aloe vera. Well defined dermis along with prominent epidermis and keratin layer was observed in Aloe vera treated group on 25^th post treatment. There was a significant difference between the treatment and control group in wound contraction rate on 5^th, 10^th, 15^th, 20^th and 25^th post treatment day. An accelerated wound contraction was seen in Aloe vera treated group during all stage of wound healing.
