The prophylactic and therapeutic agent for the articular diseases is a cartilage destruction inhibitor or a chondrogenesis promoter. The feed, prophylactic and therapeutic agent or antiinflammatory agent is produced by using the amorphized chitin. Furthermore, the amorphized chitin, feed and prophylactic and therapeutic agent for the articular diseases are used for the therapy or prophylaxis of the bovine articular diseases. The amorphous chitin, feed and antiinflammatory agent are used for the therapy or prophylaxis of bovine inflammations. A method for treating the bovine articular diseases comprises administering the amorphized chitin, feed and prophylactic and therapeutic agent for the articular diseases. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
