“…Em seguida, os dígitos foram avaliados pela inspeção, palpação direta e indireta, e percussão de acordo com o estabelecido por Dirksen et al (2008). As afecções foram classificadas conforme descrições apresentadas anteriormente (Weaver et al 1981, Greenough et al 1983, Hull et al 1993, Venter & Van Amstel 1994.…”

RESUMO.-Foram avaliados os fatores epidemiológicos e as afecções podais de bovinos de corte no estado do Pará em 12 propriedades. Em todas foi realizado o estudo epidemiológico e em nove o estudo epidemiológico e o exame clínico dos animais. Nos centros de manejo foram observados fatores favoráveis a traumatismos nos dígitos dos bovinos, como piso das seringas calçado com pedras, troncos com exposição de ferragens e rampas dos embarcadores com pisos de pedras pontiagudas, além da falta de manutenção e erros estruturais. Em todas as fazendas observou-se um manejo The epidemiological study was conducted in 12 farms with the history of foot disease occurrence. Clinical examination of the affected cattle for the diagnosis of foot disease was performed only on nine of these farms. Multiple risk factors were found for digit injuries, as syringes floors paved with rocks, working chutes with iron fittings exposure, loading ramps covered with sharp stones and the lack of maintenance and structural errors. On each farm there was an inappropriate handling of cattle. On 91.7% of them (11/12) existed pickets with trunks of trees and 66.7% (8/12) had areas of sloping relief with stones. Moreover, 16.7% (2/12) of the farms were in marsh areas and wetlands. Sodomy was reported for all farms. None of them adopted preventive measures related to foot problems. A total of 498 cattle, males and females, were examined. The hind limbs were the most affected in both, females and in males. In females 629 lesions were diagnosed. The septic pododermatitis was the most common, followed by claw deformities, pododermatitis in the paradigits and digital dermatitis. In males 285 injuries were diagnosed; the most common were septic pododermatitis, claw deformities and heel erosion. It was concluded that management errors associated with inadequate facilities were factors that contributed to the occurrence of foot diseases in beef cattle of the farms studied. The environmental characteristics favored the development of lesions; combined injuries were more prevalent than the simple ones diagnosed in cattle of all farms. Early diagnosis was not carried out in the field, what helped to increase the severity and the diversification of the foot problems.

“…Although the digital and interdigital dermatitis were classified as different entities in this study, recent research has strongly indicated that both are part of the same disease complex (Blowey & Done, 1995;Walker et al, 1995). Interdigital hyperplasia was an expected outcome to the present environmental-irritation problem (Weaver et al, 1981;Petersen & Nelson, 1984;Hull et al, 1993;Allestein, 1994) and appeared especially prevalent in the herd 2, which showed the dirtiest facilities. Low comfort stalls are associated with excessive standing time and higher prevalence of foot lesions, especially laminitis-related (Radostits et al, 1994;Vermount & Greenough, 1994;Borges et al, 1998).…”

“…This tendency is probably due to the difficulties with bovine foot handling (Weaver, 1991;Bergsten et al, 1998). The lack of a consistent nomenclature to describe the different bovine digital anomalies has been reported (Radostits et al, 1994;Silveira et al, 1988;Molina et al, 1999).…”

“…The lack of a consistent nomenclature to describe the different bovine digital anomalies has been reported (Radostits et al, 1994;Silveira et al, 1988;Molina et al, 1999). Economic losses associated to foot lesions are related to decreased milk production, body weight loss, sour milk, low reproductive performance, increased health costs and involuntary culling (Weaver, 1991;Bergsten et al, 1998;Molina et al, 1999).…”
