Abstract

In a group of 5 donkeys, the role of contraction in the healing of full-thickness excised skin wound in the abdominal and metacarpal regions of donkey was investigated within 30 days. It was found that about 93.66% from the original size of the abdominal wound and about 32% from the original size of a similar wound at the metacarpal region healed by contraction of surrounding skin.
