Use of biogenic medicines of animal origin in veterinary medicine

Abstract

Tissue therapy plays an important role in animal farming agriculture positively impacting animal growth, reproduction, and health. Biogenic medicines of animal origin are products obtained from biologically active substances found in the tissues or organs of animals. These products may include amino acids, peptides, hormones, growth factors, and other biologically active components. The use of such products in farming may be aimed at improving growth, reproductive characteristics as well as maintaining the health and immunity of animals. Preparations from animal raw materials act indirectly, stimulating metabolic processes and improving the function of the immune system due to the presence of biogenic stimulants. It is known that tissue therapy is effective to treat infectious diseases in various species of farm animals. It has advantages over antiviral and antibacterial drugs as it acts non-selectively on the organism as a whole, enhances immunobiological reactivity, has low toxicity, affects the central nervous system, activates the hypothalamic-pituitary complex, stimulates regenerative processes, and enhances the immune response to vaccination. Veterinary medicine widely uses biogenic preparations to combat infectious diseases in various farm animals. Research continues to confirm their effectiveness and safety, emphasizing the importance of their use in modern animal husbandry. Due to their properties and effectiveness, biogenic preparations remain an important tool for maintaining animal health and increasing production efficiency in farming. This paper reviews the literature on the use of biogenic medicines of animal origin in veterinary medicine against infectious diseases.
