Abstract

This study focuses on a bibliographic review of the properties of the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica) and its applications in veterinary medicine. Through a narrative and qualitative review of scientific articles and updated books, 72 relevant documents were identified, of which 30 met the inclusion criteria. Neem exhibits multiple therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, and anticancer effects. Its use extends to various veterinary applications, such as reducing gastrointestinal parasite loads in goats and poultry, controlling ticks in cattle, and improving performance in broiler chickens. Additionally, studies demonstrate the low toxicity of Neem when administered orally. These findings highlight Neem's potential as a natural alternative to synthetic drugs in veterinary medicine, thus promoting more sustainable and healthier practices in the animal industry
