“…Due to the well-recognized detrimental effects of antibiotic use, it is urgent to find a safe and effective alternative to antibiotic therapy for the treatment of RFM in ruminants. With the use of ozone between 12-24 hours (or even 36 hours) after birth, the duration of days open is comparable to those recorded in cows with physiological puerperium (DJURICIC et al, 2012a;ZOBEL and TKALCIC, 2013).…”

“…DJURICIC et al (2012a), ZOBEL and TKALCIC (2013), DJURICIC et al (2015) and ĐURIČIĆ et al (2016) reported the positive effects of ozone treatment of RFM in cows, goats and ewes, as well as of clinical metritis/ endometritis/ in cows and ewes (ĐURIČIĆ et al, 2014;ZOBEL et al, 2014;ĐURIČIĆ et al, 2016). These effects were evident due to the fact that an ozone preparation applied to the uterus resulted in significantly better recovery in relation to the other preparations registered (antibiotics) for treatment of such conditions.…”

“…In veterinary practice, ozone has been used for more than 30 years. However, the most widespread use of ozone in veterinary practice is for treatment of various pathological conditions of the genital system in domestic ruminants, such as RFM, clinical metritis/endometritis, as well as for improvement of fertility (DJURICIC et al, 2011;2012a;2012b;ZOBEL, 2013;ZOBEL and TKALCIC, 2013;ĐURIČIĆ et al, 2014;ZOBEL et al, 2014;ĐURIČIĆ et al, 2015).…”

In the fight against infectious diseases, with the combined efforts of basic and clinical veterinary scientists, practitioners and domestic animal producers, antimicrobials of natural origin will bring to veterinary medicine the same type of curative revolution as antibiotics did. To realize the main objective of animal husbandry, in diminishing negative economic trends, it is necessary to introduce contemporary management to reproduction. Amongst the numerous preventive measures in use in practice, it is also important to use alternative preparations such as ozone, which has germicidal and fungicidal activities. Ozone is frequently used within the field of veterinary medicine for prophylaxis/treatment of pathological conditions of the genital system in domestic ruminants, such as retained fetal membranes, clinical metritis/endometritis, and improvement of fertility, according to some previous studies. The advantages of ozone in comparison to antibiotics are usage without prescription, low medication costs, lack of bacterial resistance, and the absence of residues in animal products. However, ozone is frequently but still insufficiently used in veterinary practice, particularly in buiatrics. More recently, it has exhibited very promising results in treatment of puerperal disorders in cows, goats and sheep as an alternative to the use of antibiotics, which are restricted and/or being gradually withdrawn in production of food animals in the EU.

“…A definição de retenção de placenta é baseada no processo fisiológico de expulsão da membrana fetal do útero de vaca (Zobel & Tkalčić 2013) e se caracteriza como a falha da expulsão da placenta dentro de 12 a 24 horas após o parto (Kelton et al 1998, Fourichon et al 1999, representando condição patológica (Zobel & Tkalčić 2013). A liberação da placenta envolve a perda da adesão materno-fetal e ocorre somente após a maturação do placentoma, sendo que as contrações uterinas ajudam mecanicamente essa liberação que ocorre fisiologicamente entre três e seis horas após o parto (Meça et al 2006).…”

Impacto econômico da retenção de placenta em vacas leiteiras

et al. 2018

RESUMO.-Aproximadamente 75% das doenças em vacas leiteiras acontecem no primeiro mês após o parto e esses problemas têm sua origem associada ao sistema imune e ao consumo de alimentos duas a três semanas antes do parto. Doenças relacionadas ao trato reprodutivo como, por exemplo, retenção de placenta pode afetar a eficiência reprodutiva assim como a produção de leite. Os efeitos das doenças nos processos fisiológicos dos animais se transformam em impactos econômicos passíveis de serem mensurados. Objetivou-se avaliar o impacto econômico da retenção de placenta em um rebanho composto de 900 vacas em lactação. O diagnóstico de retenção de placenta foi definido como presença da placenta 24 horas após o parto. Foi utilizado um banco de dados no estudo, do qual foram extraídas as seguintes informações: ano de parição, época de parição, ordem de lactação, presença da placenta 24 horas após o parto, e número de doses de sêmen por gestação. Para cálculo do impacto econômico foram considerados os custos Approximately 75% of diseases in dairy cows occur in the first month after parturition and these problems have their origin associated with the immune system and food consumption two to three weeks before parturition. Diseases related to the reproductive tract, such as retained placenta, can affect reproductive efficiency as well as milk production. The effects of diseases on the physiological processes of animals become economic impacts that can be measured. The objective of this study was to evaluate the economic impact of retained placenta on a herd of 900 lactating cows. The diagnosis of placental retention was defined as presence of the placenta 24 hours postpartum. A database was used in the study, from which the following information was extracted: placenta presence 24 hours after calving, year of calving, calving season, and number of semen doses per gestation. In order to calculate the economic impact, the direct costs (treatment, labor, reduction of milk production and milk discharge during the treatment period) and indirect costs (increase in the service period, increase in the number of semen doses and increase of the risk of disposal). The average values related to the costs were obtained from the veterinarian responsible for the property with reference to the year 2009 for the calculations to be carried out. The total cost per occurrence of placenta retention in primiparous cows in the rainy and dry season was
