“…Uma dieta com maior proporção de concentrado, manejo nutricional normalmente utilizado e que não corresponde ao tipo de dieta que o sistema digestivo do cavalo foi adaptado, pode ocasionar cólicas, redução de apetite, má condição corporal, diarreia crônica e problemas dentários (MURRAY et al, 1989;CASEY, 2007;BURN et al, 2010;MCGOWAN et al, 2010;). Além disso, a dieta pobre em volumoso está associada à apresentação de comportamentos estereotipados e problemas de saúde, como cólicas por impactação, em cavalos que ingerem a cama, e úlceras gástricas (THORNE et al, 2005).…”

RESUMONa ciência, o estado de bem-estar de um animal é muitas vezes relacionado com o resultado dos efeitos das ações dos seres humanos, sendo esta voltada para o conhecimento das necessidades dos mesmos. Assim sendo, o animal que conseguir satisfazer suas necessidades biológicas terá maior grau de bem-estar e, de forma contrária, quando não atendidas, respostas fisiológicas e comportamentais são desencadeadas na tentativa de adaptação, mantendo sua homeostasia. Quando o equilíbrio não se estabelece, um estado permanente de estresse se mantém. Neste contexto, a avaliação do bem-estar nos equinos usados no hipismo, é importante, uma vez que esses são submetidos a ambientes e condições de manejo que não atendem na maior parte do tempo as necessidades da espécie. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, evidenciar as necessidades e os principais desafios relacionados ao bem-estar dos cavalos de hipismo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Adaptação. Comportamento. Equinos. Estereotipias. Manejo. Saúde. GOOD PRACTICES AND WELFARE OF SPORT HORSES: OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENTSABSTRACT In science, animal's welfare condition is often related to the result of the human actions towards them, and it is focused on the understanding of their needs. Therefore, the animal that is able to satisfy its biological needs will have higher welfare level. Therefore, if it is not, there is a lack of satisfaction, triggering a permanent condition of stress. Physiological and behavioral responses will occur in the attempt of animal's body to adapt to that environment, maintaining its homeostasis. In this context, since the athlete equines are often kept in environments and submitted to management conditions that do not meet their needs, welfare evaluation is a major issue. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand equines needs, to identify key issues and alternative solutions related to the well-being of sport horses.

A survey of aged horses in Queensland, Australia. Part 2: clinical signs and owners' perceptions of health and welfare

Abstract: Owners demonstrated concern for the health and welfare of their aged horses, but the lack of appropriate recognition of the significance of clinical signs and limited veterinary care suggest a need for increased client communication and veterinarian-client interaction.
