Abstract
For effective treatments for animal’s illness with natural healing properties, stem cell is act as veterinary regenerative medicine. The various types of stem cells are embryonic, adult and Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells on the basis of their origin. These stem cell are originated from various tissues such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord and other sources are frequently used. It is used for treatment of different types of disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases, ligament and tendon injuries, wobbler syndrome, osteoarthritis and mastitis. Beside this, organoids three-dimensional structures made from ESCs, ASCs, or iPSCs serve as physiologically relevant, species-specific models for disease research, drug screening, and tissue regeneration without using live animals, iPSCs enable patient-specific therapies, reducing the risk of immune rejection. Future developments combining organoid and stem cell technologies could aid in conserving endangered species, increasing livestock productivity, and enhancing animal welfare. Translating stem cell therapy from research into routine livestock healthcare requires clear guidelines and cost-effective production
