<b>Efeito do tratamento odontológico sobre parâmetros digestivos e metabólicos de equinos</b>

Abstract

DEDICATÓRIADedico esse trabalho exclusivamente aos meus pais Luiz A. J. de Moraes e Telma S. de Almeida J. de Moraes e a minha irmã Lais J. de Moraes, pois sempre estiveram ao meu lado me incentivando e me apoiando, e se existem vitórias na minha vida, são todas dedicadas ao amor que essa família sempre me deu! Changes in feed for horses led to change also the natural tooth wear, making it cluttered and even inefficient, contributing broadly to digestive disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the implications of dental treatment on the digestive and metabolic parameters of horses. Eight horses, Arabian race, castrated male, mean age 80 ± 7 months and average weight of 460 ± 28 kg never undergoing dental treatment were used. The animals were housed in individual stals, fed a diet consisting of 2% of body weight (BW) in MS/day, divided into 0.75% of pelletized concentrate formulated for equine maintenance and 1.25% grass hay ( Cynodon sp. cv. Tifton 85). RESUMOThe treatments were divided into control group (D0; animals without any dental treatment), D20 group (animals evaluated twenty days after dental treatment) and D40 group (animals evaluated forty days after the dental treatment). The animals went through a period of adjustment to the 15-day diet and five days of total collection. The floating teeth consisted of sedation and, as a result, reduction of excessive enamel points and occlusion adjustment, seeking to improve the range of masticatory movements. The variables evaluated were: apparent digestibility coefficient (CD) of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), crude protein (CP) and ether-extract (EE); area under the curve (AUC) of glucose and insulin, ingestive behavior, cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoproteins concentration, fecal pH, short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and lactic acid in the stool. The experimental design was completely randomized with repeated measures time, and data were submitted to analysis of variance considering a 5% significance. There were differences in apparent digestibility (P<0.05) with reduction in the ADF in D20 and D40 groups. For SCFA profile, floating teeth increased propionic acid D40 group compared to the control and reduction of lactic acid in the feces of the D40 group compared to the control. The animals of group D40 had weight reduction (P<0.05).The odontoplastia did not interfere in the remaining parameters. It can be concluded that after floating teeth there were changes in voluntary intake of roughage, which promotes change in concentrate/roughage diet of horses, interfering in the fermentation environment and postprandial metabolic.

ODONTOPLASTIA NO DESEMPENHO E NA CONDIÇÃO CORPORAL DE EQUINOS ATLETAS: relato de caso

“…A crescente utilização de equinos para esporte e lazer favorece os investimentos na criação de cavalos, exigindo assim maior empenho tanto por parte dos proprietários quanto dos veterinários no que diz respeito às enfermidades que os acometem (FILHO, 2016). Dentre as principais patologias podemos citar: doença periodontal, cáries, anomalias de desgaste e de máerupção (CASEY, 2013).…”
