The antibacterial effect of ozone on infected wounds on the limbs and feet of horses.

"The lifestyle of horses and the environmental factors to which they are subjected regularly put them in situations of injury, particularly to their limbs. This generally results in open traumatic wounds. Certain characteristics, such as the lack of skin elasticity and the weak protection at the pasterns, contribute to a high incidence of injuries."

Furthermore, the fungal and bacterial contamination to which the feet are subjected leads to infection and then a chronic phase of these wounds. Ischemic processes and hypoxia develop, increasing the time required for epithelialization.

The biological material for this study consisted of 5 horses of different breeds, ages, weights, and sexes. The objective of the study was to monitor the time required for complete healing and the evolution of microbiological activity on the surface of wounds by taking samples before and after treatment for bacteriological testing. The subjects were treated locally with the ozone bag method** at a dose of 50 μg/ml for 30 minutes at each treatment session. No other associated therapies were administered. We obtained a reduction in wound surface area of ​​up to 3.3 cm²/day and a reduction in bacterial population of up to 93.81%. This result confirms that topical ozone treatment using the ozone bag technique has effective bactericidal properties in the treatment of infected atonic wounds of the horse's lower limbs. (*)

**This study was conducted using an ozone bag. Today, the Bagging patented by 067 allows for easier and more effective treatment of limbs. The foot slips into the cup formed at the bottom of the bagging, and the side and top closures allow for proper fastening.

This bagging is connected to an ozone generator selected for this purpose in order to have the power to diffuse the amount of ozone necessary for a shorter treatment than that indicated in the study.

The treatment with the bagging 067 lasts 10 minutes and allows the eradication of all bacterial and fungal colonies.

Few scientific studies have been published to date, and this one reinforces the numerous empirical experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of ozone in treating fungal and bacterial infections and the acceleration of healing achieved through treatment.
