Efficacy of autogenous vaccine and auto-hemotherapy were tested in cattle suffering from papillomatosis. Five doses of autogenous vaccines were injected on day 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 to each animal. For auto-hemotherapy, 10 ml of venous blood was injected intramuscularly on weekly interval for four weeks. The animals given autogenous vaccine alone took two months to recover, while animals given both autogenous vaccine and auto-hemotherapy recovered within one and a half month. Results of the present study suggest that autogenous vaccine is useful for therapeutic purposes in bovine papillomatosis and auto-hemotherapy can serve as an useful adjunct by enhancing regression rate of papillomas.
