Avaliação clínica e da bioquímica sérica de bovinos acometidos com síndrome da vaca caída.

Abstract

Clinical and serum biochemistry evaluation of bovines affected with down cow syndrome. Metabolic disorders , infectious diseases and / or toxemia , trauma and failure in handling cattle can lead to recumbency. These etiological factors may be present singly or jointly and their identification is of great importance in establishing a prognosis and therapy. In semiarid region frameworks of malnutrition are often associated with cow -fallen syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and biochemical condition of animals affected with the syndrome of fallen cow profile. We used 15 animals with this syndrome, attended by HV . In biochemical evaluation of total plasma protein ( TPP) was identified that 66.67 % of the animals ( 10/15) had levels above the reference value for the species. In 60 % (9 /15) of animals albumin levels are shown below the reference values for the species. Calcium levels below the values referenced to cattle were identified in 73.3 % (11 /15) of animals. The evaluation showed that serum phosphorus 73.33 % (11 /15) of the animals showed levels of phosphorus below referenced. Serum magnesium levels in 100% of animals were below the reference values for the species. In 93.33 % (14 /15) of animals had hypernatremia , hyperkalemia and hyperchloremia . In the evaluation of serum enzyme activity was observed that 53.33 % of the animals had AST levels above the reference range for the species , 100 % of these had elevated CK levels and serum creatinine was increased in 66.7 % of animals . Urea was below the serum levels considered normal for the species , in 73.33 % ( 11/15) . The results reported that the biochemical profiles of animals show that despite hypocalcemia be one of factors predisposing it is not limited to only cause for extended position, but the complete breakdown of serum electrolytes, proteins, enzymes, and minerals.
