The experience was held on the campus of The Rural Police Division of Resistencia, Argentina, in two horses. Both animals were hot branded on the left side of the femoral region and kept under natural conditions (food and water ad libitum), considering the end of the study when the healing process was complete in both animals, lasting between 94 and 105 days, respectively. Documentation of changes during the healing process of hot branding is important from the veterinary forensic medicine point of view, since it will serve as an orientation guide in determining the time elapsed for a hot branding on crimes such as cattle rustling, especially in adulteration of brands, and will aid to fundament veterinarian forensic reports.
