Maggot debridement therapy in the treatment of footrot and foot scaled in sheep
Original language description
In sheep with acute and chronic interdigital skin inflammation, maggot therapy was used for the debridement and speed up the healing process. Sheep were housed at school?s farm Zemplinská Teplica and before the used maggot therapy, sheep were unsuccessfully treated through a footbath containing 10% cooper sulphate and topical application of oxytetracycline solution in alcohol. Six non-pregnant Vlachian sheep between two to four years old, weighing 43 to 57 kg were treated with maggots of Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae). The larvae population should be 8-12 per square centimetre of wound, but all affected tissues were trimmed away before their application. The effect of a single application for 3-6 days was evaluated. Debridement wasrapid and selective. The treatment was well tolerated by animals. New layers of healthy tissue were formed over the wounds. It was observed that maggots of L. sericata are capable clean the wounds after single application.
