Abstract

Wound healing entails many biological and molecular processes such as clotting, inflammation, migration-proliferation and remodeling. Vitamins like A, B, C and D; minerals including zinc, magnesium and iron, protein and amino acids are necessary to reduce the inflammatory process and enhance collagen synthesis and ultimately add in enhancement of wound healing without scar formation. Veterinarians should include these nutrients in prescription for effective management of traumatic or surgical wounds.
