Fatores de risco, achados clínicos, laboratoriais e avaliação terapêutica em 36 bovinos com deslocamento de abomaso

摘要: The continuous genetic selection for high milk production in association with greater digestive capacity and corporal depth increases the susceptibility abomasopathies including abomasal displacement. present work aimed to accomplish a retrospective study on displacement 36 cattle attended at Bovine Clinic, Garanhuns Campus, Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, through January 2000 February 2009. Twenty seven cases right displacement, six left three volvulus were diagnosed. Eleven moderate cases, without severe abdominal distention, appetite roughage metallic sound (“ping”) reaching most 8th intercostal space treated conservatively, 20 distention associated systemic disturbances surgically. Two cows euthanized due diffuse peritonitis or alterations serosa totalizing 18 animals submitted surgical treatment. slaughtered arrived prostrated died receiving any Risk factor analysis identified rainy season as statistically significant. number was crossbred 24 (66.6%), followed by Holstein Gir 11 (30.5%) one (2.9%) respectively. Food composition varied greatly characterized excess carbohydrates low quality fibers. Most frequent clinical signs apathy, dehydration, light ruminal bloat reduced absent motility, splashing during flank ballottement, ping distended viscera-like structure side displacement; liquid, blackish fetid feces. Hematology reveals leukocytosis neutrophilia hyperfibrinogenemia cases. Ruminal fluid showed compromised flora fauna dynamics increased chloride ion concentration 93.9% achieving media index 47.66 mEq/L. Clinical recovery rate achieved 100% 72.2%, Those methods described are viable options treatment displacements but prevention remains best choice.
