“…In order to establish the occurrence of the main diseases that affect cattle, highlighting the different organic systems, other studies based on clinical cases, showed variation in the frequency of diseases that affect the digestive system of cattle, in different regions of Brazil. However, the number of animals studied, as well as the observation time, were lower than the present study (Tortorelli et al 2012, Borowsky et al 2019, Oliveira et al 2019.…”

“…These studies demonstrated regional variation in the occurrence of diseases affecting the digestive system of cattle, and often classify them by etiology into nutricional and metabolic diseases. These diseases were responsible for approximately 10% of the clinical cases of ruminants attended at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the "Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul" (UFRGS; 6/60) (Borowsky et al 2019), as well as at the Bovine and Small Ruminant Hospital of the "Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia", "Universidade de São Paulo" (USP; 9/88) (Tortorelli et al 2012) and 21% (74/351) of the clinical cases of admitted treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the "Escola deMedicina Veterinária e Zootecnia" at the "Universidade Federal do Tocantins" (Oliveira et al 2019). In the State of Pernambuco, Afonso (2017) reported that diseases of the bovine digestive system represent approximately 18% of the cases at the "Clínica de Bovinos de Garanhuns", "Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco" (CBG-UFRPE).…”

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.

“…A miíase representou 42,85% dos casos em ovinos, 20% em caprinos e 16,66% dos casos em bovinos. Em estudo prévio realizado em São Paulo, a miíase não teve grande casuística no atendimento de ruminantes [32].…”

“…A verminose representou 25,71% dos casos diagnosticados em ovinos, 37,5% em caprinos e 11,11% dos atendimentos em bovinos. Estudos prévios colocam a verminose como principal doença infectocontagiosa em pequenos ruminantes [2,10,27,29,32].…”

“…As doenças infecciosas e parasitárias foram as mais diagnosticadas, com prevalências de 30% em bovinos, 29,85% em caprinos e 24,30% em ovinos. O predomínio de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias também foi observado em estudos prévios, tanto de casuísticas hospitalares [6,20,32] como em estudos conduzidos por laboratórios de diagnóstico patológicos [2,10,15,28,29]. Essa alta prevalência é atribuída as falhas de manejo sanitário existentes na produção de ruminantes.…”

were searched in the archives of the Hospital of Veterinary Clinics of UFRGS. Data on species, race, sex, age and diagnosis were collected. Diagnoses were classified as conclusive and inconclusive and the cases with conclusive diagnosis were classified according to etiology: infectious and parasitic diseases, metabolic and nutritional diseases, reproductive and obstetric diseases, toxic diseases, traumatic diseases. The prevalence of diseases and characteristics of ruminants attended (species, sex, category) was calculated. During the study period, between January 2007 and May 2018, 341 ruminants were attended, with emphasis on sheep (42%), goats (39%) and cattle (18%). In addition, a camel with foreign body obstruction, a sambar deer with fracture of the first thoracic vertebra and a buffalo with ruminal impaction were attended. The care profile was mapped, with predominance of females (57%) and adults (59%). Most of the animals did not present a defined breed, but among the breeds stands out Texel, of cutting aptitude, in sheeps and Saanen and Holstein, of dairy aptitude, in goats and cattle, respectively. In the retrospective study, the diseases with infectious and parasitic etiology presented the highest prevalence with 27.5% of the attendances, followed by reproductive (17.5%), traumatic (13.5%), metabolic (10%), others (10%) and toxic (2.5%). Sixty-six animals had inconclusive diagnosis (19.5%). Discussion: The highest prevalences were infectious and parasitic diseases, with emphasis on myiasis and verminosis. So, it is perceived that management corrections are sufficient to reduce the number of occurrences of diseases and prophylactic measures such as vaccination protocol, vermifugation and adequate nutritional management are allied in this walk. Among the reproductive diseases, dystocia (42.85%), which is one of the main causes of mortality in the peripartum period, has been highlighted. Dog attack was the major cause of traumas in ruminants and urolithiasis was highlighted in metabolic diseases. In toxic diseases, copper intoxication was the most important. Sheep are extremely sensitive to this intoxication, as they tend to accumulate copper in the organism. The retrospective study made it possible to visualize the panorama of HCV UFRGS visits to ruminants in the last years, mapping the profile and determining the casuistry of the diseases. Studies of hospital veterinary casuistry are rare, mainly involving ruminants. At the end, it is concluded that studies referring to casuistry are important to know the predominant diseases in a specific area and its risk factors considering differential diagnosis and future prevention programs.
