Introduction Honey is a valuable natural product, rich in carbohydrates and biological active substances. Since ancient times, honey, the main product of the hive, has been particularly appreciated from a nutritional and therapeutic point of view. Made from the nectar of the working bees, honey is rich in sugars (76%), with less than 20% water, which makes honey a supersaturated solution, with a viscous appearance (Sato and Miyata, 2000). The carbohydrates present in honey are represented mostly bymonosaccharides (fructose, glucose) and in very small quantities, by disaccharides (sucrose, maltose, isomaltose, nigerose, turanose andmaltulose) (De Melo et al., 2018). In the complex structure of honey, there are also other components, such as proteins (frequently enzymes), organic acids, vitamins (pyridoxine, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, panto- thenic acid), minerals (calcium, copper, mangane- se, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc), pigments, volatile compounds, flavonoids, poly- phenols, solid particles (Da Silva et al., 2016).

The aim of this review is to provide an updated scientific support regarding the current state and the perspectives on honey application in the veterinary medical therapeutics. We sustain the utility of this documentation because of the contradiction between the abundance of research in the human medicine field and their sporadic character in the medical veterinary one. We assess that honey should not be simply considered as a ‘folk remedy’, but as a modern therapy. Moreover, this review intends to inform the veterinary clinicians about the therapeutic potential of honey, exerted especially on wounds healing and regenerative therapy. Keywords: honey, wounds, therapy, medical field. REVIEWS
