The aim of this study to identify the efficacy of autologous and heterologous serum plus nata de coco patch at the ruptured tympanic membrane of laying hens.
This experimental study is performed in animals, twenty eight tympanic membrans from fourteen laying hens.
In autologous groups 14% (2ears) have healed on the 2nd day and 93% (13ears) on the3rd day and all samples group healed on the 4th day. But in the heterologous group 64% have healed on the 3rd days and all the other samples have recovered on the 5th day. The healing times of ruptured tympanic membrane did not have a statistically significant difference at both of groups.
The autologous and heterologous serum were recomended with nata de coco patch as alternative material aplication for myringoplasty and the both of them can give faster healing to the ruptured tympanic membranes of laying hen.
