APIPHYTOTHERAPEUTIC PRODUCT USED FOR NUTRITIONAL THERAPY IN DOGS WITH LIVER DISEASES

Summary/Abstract: The ever increasing interest for the alternative and complementary medicine and especially for the veterinary api-phyto-therapy led to the development of several researches on the preparation of an apitherapeutic product (Hepro-vit) and the study on its therapeutic effects in some liver diseases in dogs. The researches on the preparation of Hepro-vit were carried out in the Institute for Beekeeping Research and Development while the preclinical and clinical studies were carried out at the Medical Clinics of The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine from USAMV Bucharest and of the Medical Clinic of The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Spiru Haret. The studied api-therapeutic product, prepared from a mixture of bee products (bee pollen and propolis), a plant extract (common celandine tincture (Chelidonium majus), microelements and vitamins was administered alone or in various therapeutic schemes, according to the disease. The clinical tests were carried out on company animals (dogs) of various ages and races, showing diagnosed hepato-billiary diseases (liver insufficiency, acute hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, cholestasis). The clinical investigations were completed by echographic and biochemical examinations (BIL, ALAT, GGT, PAL), and the values were registered before and after the treatment. The methods of nutritional therapy with Hepro-vit, applied in hepatic diseases, were at least as efficient as the standard treatment methods.
