Muscle injuries in horses are a common problem in sport and recreational animals. They can result from intense training, sudden turns, falls, or accidents. If left untreated, they lead to decreased performance, chronic pain, and recurrent injuries, which significantly affect the horse's usefulness.
Conventional treatment includes rest, cold or warm compresses, anti-inflammatory drugs, and gradual rehabilitation. In more severe cases, limb immobilization or surgery is used. This approach often prolongs recovery time and does not always ensure full muscle regeneration.
MSCs stimulate muscle fiber regeneration, improve elasticity, and reduce the risk of scar tissue formation. They are effective in serious injuries and chronic, difficult-to-heal injuries.

PRP provides concentrated growth factors that support repair processes in muscles. It reduces inflammation, accelerates regeneration, and limits scarring.
In cases of severe inflammation, IL-1 helps reduce pain and limits chronic inflammation, which improves quality of life and facilitates regeneration.

Muscle injuries in horses are a problem that, without proper treatment, can lead to chronic functional limitations. Standard therapies are mainly symptomatic, while biological treatment methods—PRP, MSC, and IL-1—support regeneration, shorten recovery time, and improve long-term prognosis.
From several weeks to several months, depending on the extent of the injury and the treatment used.
It works best in early and moderate damage; in more severe cases, MSC is necessary.
SC support regeneration and improve tissue structure, but the effects depend on the extent of the damage.
No—IL-1 is intended for difficult and chronic cases with severe inflammation.
