Abstract
The present study assigns the effect of neuroectomy to bone healing of
experimentally induce bone fracture in 3rd metacarpal bone ,in donkeys by macroscopic,
radiographic and evaluation of mineral levels(ca,p).
Sixteen donkeys of male sex with the age 1.5- 2 years, weighting 125-150 kg. were
used for this study. These animals were healthy clinically. The donkeys were divided
randomly into two groups( non- neuroectomized and neuroectomized) eight donkeys
each group. The animals anaesthetized with xylazine Hcl at dose 0.5 mg/kg. B.W., then
injectable Ketamine Hcl at the dose 3 mg/kg B.W.which administered intravenously.
The animals of non- neuroectomized group, induced one fracture at the mid of the
shift of 3rd metacarpal bone. Evaluated with clinical signs macroscopical, estimation of
level of mineral and radiographic examination. Gross examination swelling in the site of
fracture and lameness. The callus formation shows in radiographic examination.The
calcium concentration was highly significant increase after 30th and 60th days , which the
phosphorus level increase after 30th days and then s decrease at 60th days
