RESUMO.-A compactação dos pré-estômagos é um transtorno digestivo resultante da ingestão de forragem de baixa qualidade, rico em lignina e com baixos níveis de energia e proteína digerível, associada ou não a restrição hídrica. O acúmulo de vegetais ricos em fibras indigeríveis pode levar também a formação de fitobezoares, causando transtornos digestivos e obstruções intestinais. Objetivou-se com este trabalho descrever os aspectos epidemiológicos e as alterações clínico-patológicas de um surto de alterações digestórias em bovinos alimentados com Agave sisalana. O rebanho acometido era formado por 22 animais adultos, criados de forma semiextensiva, que, devido a escassez de forragem, receberam no cocho, quase que exclusivamente, durante dois meses, o caule do A. sisalana cortado manualmente. Seis vacas apresentaram diminuição do apetite, distensão abdominal, redução dos períodos de ruminação e da produção de fezes. Um animal foi encaminhado ao Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande. O diagnóstico presuntivo de compactação ruminal e obstrução intestinal foi dado pela epidemiologia, sinais clíni-cos e análise de fluido ruminal. Na necropsia observou-se rúmen, retículo e omaso repletos, com conteúdo fibroso e ressecado constituído por fibras de A. sisalana. No abomaso observou-se a presença de conteúdo pastoso e esverdeado a acastanhado. Em todos os pré-estômagos e no abomaso Indigestion due to compaction of the ruminal content is a digestive disorder resulting from low-quality forage intake, rich in lignin and with low levels of energy and digestible protein, with or without water restriction. The accumulation of plant residues rich in indigestible fibers can also lead to formation of phytobezoars, causing digestive disorders and intestinal obstructions. The objective of this paper was to describe the epidemiology and the clinical and pathological changes of an outbreak of indigestion and other digestive disorders in cattle fed Agave sisalana. The affected herd consisted of 22 adult cattle reared in a semi-extensive system, which ingested almost exclusively stalks of A. sisalana manually cut for two months. Six cows showed decreased appetite and rumination, abdominal distension, and reduced production of dried feces. One animal was referred to the Veterinary Hospital. The presumptive diagnosis of indigestion was made by the epidemiologic data, clinical signs, and laboratory evaluation. At necropsy, the rumen, reticulum and omasum were filled with fibrous and dried A. sisalana content. A viscous, greenish brownish content was present in the abomasum. Numerous phytobezoars were found in the pre-stomachs and abomasum measuring 4-12cm in diameter. One phytobezoar was partially obstructing the duodenum, with the cranial part of the organ filled with intestinal content, and the caudal portion was empty. It is concluded that the administration of A. sisalana stalks for long periods may cause indigestion due to ruminal compaction and formation of phytobezoars.

“…In addition, other low-quality forages or alternative sources, mainly used in times of scarcity, have been described as a cause of impaction in cattle in Brazil, such as sisal (Agave sisalana), an important source for the production of fiber and used as raw material in the manufacture of ropes and baskets, sunflower silage, produced late and supplied in excess, and banana stem (Musa sp.) supplied as an exclusive diet (Helayel et al 2012, Mesquita et al 2012, Nascimento et al 2016. The size of the forage particles offered to the animals is also considered to be a factor associated with the formation of compact masses in the stomach.…”

“…Câmara et al (2009) as well as Hussain et al (2013) explained that very small particles can lead to faster passage through the rumen-reticulum and cause impaction of the omasum and/or abomasum. On the other hand, Mesquita et al (2012) and Nascimento et al (2016) stated that excessively large particles can decrease the rate of passage through the rumen-reticulum, compromising the digestive process of feed carried out by ruminal microorganisms, prolonging the retention time, which generates accumulation undigested food in the forestomach.…”

Digestive diseases of cattle diagnosed at the “Clínica de Bovinos de Garanhuns”-UFRPE: retrospective study and influence of seasonality

Diseases of the bovine digestive system make up an important group of diseases, often being responsible for significant economic losses in the livestock sector. The current work aimed to carry out a retrospective study of the diseases of the digestive system in cattle diagnosed at the “Clínica de Bovinos de Garanhuns”, “Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco”, from January 1999 to December 2018. In this period, a total of 9,343 cattle were admitted to the CBG-UFRPE, of which 2,238 (24.0%) were diagnosed with diseases of the digestive system. In two decades, the total number of cattle admitted annually by the institution almost doubled as well as the number of cases of digestive diseases. The diseases categorized as mechanical/motor were the most prevalent (33.6%), followed by fermentative (28.4%), gastroenteritis (16.0%), esophageal diseases (9.7%), and diseases of the oral cavity (4.5%). Lesions of the rectum and anus, congenital alterations, and other digestive diseases showed relative frequencies below 4%. Traumatic reticulitis and its sequelae (14.5%) are the most prevalent disorders, followed by simple indigestion (10.1%), esophageal and intestinal obstructive disorders (9.0%), non-specific gastroenteritis (8.6%), displaced abomasum (RDA and LDA) (5.5%), and frothy bloat, ruminal lactic acidosis, and impaction of the forestomach and abomasum, which represented approximately 5% each. In general, these diseases presented a lethality rate of 46.0%, with emphasis on mechanical/motor diseases with a lethality rate of 73.8%. In general, diseases were more prevalent in females, crossbreeds, aged over 24 months, and raised in a semi-intensive system. Diseases of the digestive system increased over the years studied, representing a considerable portion of the diseases that affect cattle raised in this region, which makes up the main milk basin in the State of Pernambuco, confirming its economic and social impact in the region.

“…Dentre esses transtornos, destacando-se as desordens digestivas de natureza mecânica com potencial de acarretarem prejuízos econômicos aos produtores, pelo comprometimento produtivo e/ou a morte dos animais enfermos, a exemplo dos casos de compactação de rúmen (HELAYEL et al, 2012;SILVA, 2015;NASCIMENTO et al, 2016), compactação de abomaso/omaso (BORGES et al, 2007;CÂMARA et, al. 2009;MESQUITA et al, 2012), obstrução intestinal por fitobezoários (COUTINHO et al, 2002, AFONSO et al, 2008UBIALI et al, 2013), intussuscepção (SILVA FILHO et al, 2010) entre outros.…”
