Abstract

This pilot study investigates innovative larch-based active ingredients (larch turpentine, CO₂ extract of larch bark) in spray form for the local treatment of cattle ringworm. This natural alternative from the European larch (Larix decidua) aims to provide an environmentally friendly solution with potential applications in both veterinary and human medicine.
