Abstract(s)
A doença podal em bovinos tem grande impacto no bem-estar animal pela dor e desconforto asso- ciados e grande impacto nos seus níveis produtivos, pelo que deve ser entendida como uma prioridade em qualquer sistema de produção. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a ocorrência de doença podal em bovinos de explorações de produção intensiva e semiextensiva. A obtenção dos dados que permitiram a realização deste trabalho foi conseguida através do acompanhamento do serviço médico veterinário e de podologia bovina, durante os meses de outubro de 2021 a Fevereiro de 2022. Para tal, foram ana- lisados 73 casos de doença podal provenientes de uma amostra de conveniência. Estudou-se a asso- ciação entre variáveis pelo teste exato de Fisher com um nível de significância de p < 0,05. A análise estatistica foi realizada com recurso ao SPSS 25®. As doenças podais mais frequentemente encontradas, por ordem decrescente, foram a Dermatite Digital (27,4%; n=20); Úlcera (26,0%; n=19); Doença da Linha Branca (13,7%; n=10); Outras (13,7%; n=10); Tiloma (8,2%; n=6). Entraram nesta análise 11,0% (n=8) animais que embora não tivessem lesão, efetuaram o tratamento corretivo/preventivo. Quanto ao sexo, as fêmeas apresentaram maior ocorrência para Dermatite Digital (100%), Tiloma (66,7%), Úlceras (78,9%) e outras doenças (80,0%). Enquanto a ocorrência de doença da Linha Branca foi mais elevada nos machos (90,0%), O tratamento preventivo teve igual ocorrência nas fêmeas e nos machos (50,0%). As diferenças encontradas foram estatisticamente significativas (p ≤ 0,001). Este estudo corrobora a importância dos fatores associados a diferentes tipos de patologias podais e devem ser encarados num programa de prevenção e controlo da doença.
The bovine hoof disorders have a great impact on animal welfare due to the associated pain and discomfort and great impact on the productive levels and, because of that, hoof pathology should be understood as a priority. Data were collected from the veterinary medical and bovine podiatry service, from October 2021 to February 2022. The aim of this study was to analyze the occurrence of hoof pa- thology in intensive and semi-extensive farms. For this, 73 cases of hoof pathology from a convenience sample were analyzed. The association between variables by the Exact Fisher test was studied. The analysis was done using the SPSS 25 program ® for Windows XP. A significance level of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The most frequently hoof pathology in decreasing order was digital dermatitis (27.4%; n=20); Sole ulcer (26.0%; n=19); White Line Disease (13.7%; n=10); Others (13.7%; n=10); Tyloma (8.2%; n=6). In this analysis 11.0% (n=8) animals that, although they did not have a lesion, performed corrective/preventive treatment. Regarding gender, the occurrence of Digital dermatitis was higher in females (100%), the occurrence of White line disease was higher in males (90.0%), the occur- rence of Tyloma was higher in females (66.7%), the occurrence of Sole ulcers was higher in females (78.9%), the occurrence of other pathologies was higher in females (80.0%) and preventive treatment had the same occurrence in females and males (50.0%). The differences found were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.001). This study corroborates the factors associated with different types of hoof pathologies found in other studies and that these factors should be seen in a disease prevention and control program.
