The project aims at developing innovative veterinary products for the prevention, alleviation, and treatment of symptoms caused by inflammatory processes in muscles, tendons, and joints. This is achieved by utilizing high-value bioactive substances and advanced encapsulation technologies. The project seeks to promote the use of bioactive veterinary products created on a natural basis in horse farms and livestock farms, thereby improving animal health, well-being, and creating conditions for reducing the use of antibiotics.
Project funding:
The project is funded under Lithuanian Rural Development Program 2014- 2020 under activity “Support for the creation and development of EIP activity groups”
Project results:
two-component system is developed for the prevention, alleviation, and treatment of symptoms caused by inflammatory processes in the muscles, tendons, and joints of horses and cattle. The two-component system consists of an emulsion with encapsulated bioactive substances and a bioactive 3D hydrogel and/or nanoporous membrane, which is attached to a splint. This innovative splint ensures the adherence of the membrane to the tissues and the efficacy of the active substances. The splint provides stability to the system and, in conjunction with the membrane, stimulates blood circulation while reducing pain. The effectiveness of the measures has been evaluated in horse farms and cattle farms by following a systematic rehabilitation regimen.
Period of project implementation: 2023-03-23 - 2024-06-20
