Maggot Therapy in Horses with Traumatic Wounds Caused by Wire Fences: Case Reports

Key Points

This research explores the effectiveness of maggot therapy in treating wire fence wounds in horses.
Application of sterile L. cuprina larvae for wound treatment
Monitoring of healing progression and tissue response
Evaluation of infection control measures
Maggot therapy facilitated rapid debridement of necrotic tissue
Significant infection control was observed
Granulation tissue formation was successfully promoted

Abstract

Maggot therapy using sterile L. cuprina larvae proved effective and safe for treating wire fences wounds in horses, promoting rapid debridement, infection control, and granulation tissue formation, supporting its value as an adjunctive therapy in equine wound management.
