Cow ghee, the butter fat obtained from the cow’s milk has been claimed to have many medicinal properties like it is cooling in energy, rejuvenating, bestows luster and beauty, enhances memory and stamina, increases the intellect, promotes longevity, is an aphrodisiac and protects the body from various diseases. Also it was reported for wound healing property in mice and rats. The present study was an attempt to explore the use of cow ghee for veterinary purpose with regard to wound healing activity. The subject in this study, a buffalo suffered the deep skin injury because of rubbing against the rock in the pond. Treatment of the injury was commenced and continued with the traditional herbs to modern methods including antibiotic ointment but it failed. First treatment included the curcumin extract while the second treatment comprises Nomax cream. Modern antibiotics forms the Third and fourth treatment. These treatments failed due to the habit of the animal to visit the pond frequently thereby diminishing the effect of medicines, if any. It was followed by a cream containing cow ghee in a conventional cream base which showed very good results for the wound healing in buffalo.
