The paper considers the results of the analysis of the spectrum of antimicrobial activity of the composite mixture of Macadamia ternifolia nut oil and Opuntia ficus indica L. cactus seed oil. The study showed that combining these oils into a single composition provides a mechanism of complex antibacterial action tested on four typical test strains of bacterial cultures. Biologically active properties of the composite mixture of macadamia nut oil and prickly pear cactus seed oil are largely due to their fatty acid and antioxidant composition. In veterinary practice, this mixture can be used to treat dermatological diseases and improve the general condition of the integumentary tissues of farm animals during the rehabilitation of wound defects and traumatic injuries. One of the areas of application of the experimental mixture of Macadamia ternifolia nut oil and Opuntia ficus indica L. cactus seed oil is the prevention and treatment of traumatic tissue damage to the udder of lactating cows, caused by exposure to unfavorable factors during machine milking.
