“…En contraste, se encontró también que es de uso común la fertilización directa de los potreros con los desechos de pesebrera sin proceso previo de compostaje; tal hecho podría estar relacionado con un incremento en la infestación parasitaria y bacteriana en las explotaciones equinas (22), lo cual puede representar un riesgo en la diseminación de enfermedades, ya que incrementa las cargas de patóge-nos en los sitios de pastoreo. El riesgo inherente a esta práctica se reduciría con el uso del compostaje como un método adecuado de prevención de enfermedades en explotaciones equinas (23). Sin embargo, solo el 9,6 % utilizó dicho sistema de manejo de la cama y excretas.…”

ResumenSe realizó un estudio prospectivo de cohortes durante un año en 35 fincas de caballo criollo colombiano en la sabana de Bogotá. Se hizo seguimiento a 192 potros nacidos vivos en este periodo, de los cuales se registraron los nacimientos durante todo el año de estudio, debido a las condiciones tropicales de la región evaluada, y se caracterizaron los factores de manejo de las fincas del estudio. Se determinó una tasa de morbilidad del 27,7/100/año y del 0,77/100/ año de mortalidad en los primeros 30 días vida. La tasa de incidencia de las enfermedades más observadas fueron síndrome febril (5,7/100/año), enfermedad respiratoria con fiebre (4,9/100/año) y diarrea con fiebre (3,9/100/año). También se determinó que en las primeras 48 horas de vida se presenta la mayor incidencia de enfermedad con 60,9 % potros/ semana, causada en su mayoría por deformidades angulares y flexurales, síndrome febril, enfermedad respiratoria y diarrea con fiebre. Subsecuentemente, la morbilidad desciende hasta el día 30 de vida, cuando se presenta una incidencia del 11 %, sobre todo debido a casos de enfermedad respiratoria con fiebre.Palabras clave: neonato, morbilidad, mortalidad, criollo colombiano. Study of Morbidity, Mortality and Disease in Colombian Mixed Race Foals During their First 30 Days of Life in Bogota's Savannah AbstractA prospective cohort study was conducted for one year in 35 Colombian mixed race horse farms in the savannah of Bogota. A follow-up was made to 192 foals born alive during this period, births that were registered throughout the entire study year, due to the tropical conditions of the evaluated region, and the management factors of the studied farms were characterized. A morbidity rate of 27.7/100/year and a mortality of 0.7/100/year were determined in the first 30 days of life. The incidence rate of the most observed diseases was febrile syndrome (5.7/100/year), respiratory illness with fever (4.9/100/year) and diarrhea with fever (3.9/100/year). It was also determined that in the first 48 hours of life the highest incidence of disease is presented with 60.9% foals/week, mostly caused by angular and flexural deformities, febrile syndrome, respiratory illness and diarrhea with fever. Subsequently, morbidity decreases until the 30th day of life, when an incidence of 11% occurs, mainly because of respiratory illness with fever.

“…Noninfectious causes include foal heat diarrhea, perinatal asphyxia syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), dietary imbalance, equine gastric ulcer syndrome, luminal irritant diarrhea, and secondary lactose intolerance. 16,17 The most common infectious agents include rotavirus (RV), Clostridium perfringens types A and C, Salmonella spp, C difficile, Cryptosporidia, and L intracellularis. 2,3,6,11,15,17 Less common causes are Coronavirus, Rhodococcus equi, and Strongyloides westeri.…”

Diarrhea is one of the most important diseases in young foals and may occur in more than half of foals until weaning age. Several infectious and noninfectious underlying causes have been implicated but scientific evidence of pathogenesis is evolving. It is important to investigate all known potential causes and identify infectious agents to avoid outbreaks, evaluate the level of systemic compromise, and establish adequate therapy. It is crucial to differentiate foals that can be managed in field conditions from those that should be sent to a referral center. This article reviews these aspects and recent developments in the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
