MANEJO NUTRICIONAL PÓS CIRÚRGICO EM EQUINOS ACOMETIDOS PELA SÍNDROME CÓLICA.

Abstract

Colic is a syndrome that often affects equidae, such illness is cause of abdominal pain and disorders in the gastrointestinal tract of the horse. One of the main factors resulting in inadequate food handling disease is offered to them. The various cramps about 45% of these animals has surgical indication for the resolution of the primary disease. Postoperatively, the quest for the welfare of the horse is focus of veterinary medicine. In contrast, the nutritional status on immune function and unfavorable in tissue repair are reasons that contribute in the pursuit of well-being. The postoperative horse goes through two phases, where the first nutritional is parenteral nutrition and which has the function of providing adequate food when the animal presents several difficulties to keep caloric intake anoréticas, electrolyte and protein. The second phase is oral when parenteral is gradually decreased to prevent a sudden acute in energy supply and hypoglycemia. At this stage it is use of prebiotíco and probiotícos with concentrates and grasses. This methodology has been deployed in the CITEQUIN (Centre of integrated treatment of Horses) and is anchored in bibliographical review and on usual day to day practice, making further research is required to develop an increasingly appropriate nutritional management in postoperative equine colic operated in.
