Abstract

In this study, the curative efficacy of gasoline as a petroleum product in skin papillomatosis of cattle has been investigated. A total of 20 cattle with papillomatosis were divided into two groups (control and experimental). The gasoline was sprayed on the animals in the experimental group twice a day for 15 days. During the application period, some parameters of the animals in the control and experimental groups were measured at intervals of three days. In addition, after the application, the lesions were monitored at 7-days intervals during 50 days. Fifty days later, the animals in the control group did not recover while the animals in the experimental group recovered at the rate of 90%. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that gasoline is effective on skin papillomatosis in cattle
