Chromolaena odorata, commonly known as Siam weed, is widely utilized in ethnoveterinary medicine for treating wounds and skin infections. This case study evaluates the wound healing, maggoticidal, and antifungal activities of freshly prepared C. odorata leaf paste in animals including cattle, goats, pigs, and dogs. Topical application resulted in substantial wound contraction, maggot clearance, and resolution of dermatophytosis over seven days. These findings support its use as an accessible and cost-effective agent in field of veterinary medicine.
