Enfermidades de ovinos diagnosticadas na Clínica Médica e Cirúrgica de Grandes Animais da FAMEZ-UFMS

Abstract

The records of 654 sheep treated at the large animal medical and surgical clinic of the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (FAMEZ-UFMS) between 2014 and 2024 were reviewed to determine the prevalence of the main diagnoses found. Treatments were carried out at FAMEZ and on properties in the capital and surrounding municipalities. After applying the exclusion criteria, we obtained 370 diagnoses, with diseases of the digestive system being the most prevalent at 20.3% (75/370), followed by the musculoskeletal system 19.5% (72/370), integumentary 15.9% (59/370), genitourinary 10.8% (40/370), visual 8.4% (31/370), poisoning 8.1% (30/370), respiratory 7.3% (27/370), nervous 4.9% (18/370), auricular 3.8% (14/370), metabolic/nutritional 0.8% (03/370) and neonatal diseases 0.3% (01/370). This information can alert physicians to the most prevalent diseases in the region, to help in their prevention and control.
