This study evaluated the inclusion of nanofibers from soybean hulls and pupunha peach palm heart sheaths in the diet of growing rabbits. Twenty-four New Zealand White rabbits (male and female) were allocated in three experimental groups: control, fed a basal diet; Nanosoy, fed a diet containing 7% soybean-hull nanofibers; and Nanopupunha, fed a diet containing 7% pupunha palm heart-sheath nanofibers. The Nanosoy-group rabbits showed poorer final weight, daily feed intake, and daily weight gain than those in other groups. In the duodenum, villus height, total mucosal thickness, and villus width were higher in rabbits that received nanofiber-supplemented diets than in the controls. Higher villus density and wall thickness were observed in Nanopupunha-fed rabbits than in the controls. In the jejunum, although the crypt depth was higher in Nanosoy-fed rabbits, the villus height:crypt depth ratio was higher in the Nanopupunha-fed group. Nanosoy-fed animals exhibited increased count Enterobacteriaceae populations. Rabbits in both nanofiber-fed groups exhibited higher lactic-acid bacterial counts than those in the control-diet group. Therefore, although the inclusion of 7% Nanopupunha in the diet of rabbits did not alter the performance, it improved intestinal health and increased the lactic-acid bacterial count in the cecum of growing rabbits.

Although its use remains controversial, homeopathy has been proposed as an integrative approach alongside conventional medicine. This systematic review aimed to validate the use of homeopathy in veterinary using randomized controlled trials as the gold standard methodology. We performed a broad bibliographic search on the use of homeopathy in veterinary medicine published between 2016 and 2023, following the prerequisites and protocol established by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Cochrane Training. All searched studies were excluded if they did not fit the chosen methodology. Studies were identified based on their data and passed through a selection process. The selected studies were then assessed for risk of bias. The initial database search yielded 161 documents. Of these, 126 studies were excluded because they were not within the scope of the review, either by title or In total, 35 articles remained and underwent a data extraction process followed by study selection. Due to its methodologies, many studies with high sampling densities, encompassing numerous species and diseases, were not included in this review. Eight articles met the requirements of the present study. The articles predominantly focused on diseases, which may be attributed to the fact that treating such diseases makes it easier to validate the use of homeopathics in veterinary medicine, rather than solely employing it for prevention, as observed in the majority of the outcomes. Only four studies exhibited an overall low risk of bias. There is a scant number of robust evidence for veterinary homeopathy. With that, further randomized controlled trials involving the same species are warranted to valitade its use; the limited number of articles did not allow us to conduct a meta-analysis. This systematic review illustrates the need for a better description of the methodologies used in these studies. Embora seu uso permaneça controverso, a homeopatia tem sido proposta como uma abordagem integrativa ao lado da medicina convencional. Esta revisão sistemática teve como objetivo validar o uso da homeopatia na medicina veterinária utilizando ensaios clínicos randomizados como metodologia de referência. Uma ampla pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada em busca de estudos publicados entre os anos de 2016 e 2023, seguindo os pré-requisitos e protocolos estabelecidos pelo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) e treinamento Cochrane. Estudos foram excluídos caso não se enquadrassem na metodologia escolhida. Os trabalhos foram identificados com base em seus dados e passaram por um processo de seleção. Estudos selecionados foram então avaliados quanto ao risco de viés, sendo que a busca inicial no banco de dados resultou em 161 documentos. Desses, 126 foram excluídos porque não estavam dentro do escopo da revisão, seja pelo título ou resumo. No total, 35 artigos permaneceram e passaram por um processo de extração de dados seguido da seleção. Devidos às suas metodologias, muitos estudos com altas densidades amostrais, abrangendo inúmeras espécies e doenças, não foram incluídos nesta revisão. Oito artigos atenderam aos requisitos da revisão. Os trabalhos focaram predominantemente em doenças, o que pode ser atribuído ao fato de que tratar tais doenças facilita a validação do uso de homeopáticos na medicina veterinária, ao invés de empregá-los exclusivamente para prevenção, como observado na maioria dos resultados. Apenas quatro artigos apresentaram, em geral, um baixo risco de viés. Há um número escasso de evidências positivas robustas para a homeopatia veterinária; mais ensaios clínicos randomizados envolvendo a mesma espécie são necessários para validar o seu uso. O número limitado de artigos não permitiu a condução de uma metanálise, sendo que essa revisão sistemática destaca a necessidade de uma melhor descrição das metodologias utilizadas nesses estudos.
