Relatório do Estágio Supervisionado Obrigatório (ESO 08525): impacto da água hiperconcentrada na saúde de bovinos

Abstract

The water shortage in Pernambuco’s semi-arid leaded the government of the state to develop projects to solve the problem. The main measure was the installation of desalinators to provide drinking water for human consumption and other living beings, but it became a practice of the producers to use the waste water of this system, hyperconcentrated,to kill the thirst of their animals. Health is evaluated the health problems of bovines, who consume water with sodium content (hyperconcentrated or rejection), through the results of the hemogram, biochemistry and plasma osmolarity.Clinical and laboratorial evidence presented by the dairy cattle examined, in connection with the results obtained in the analysis of hyperconcentrated water in magnesium, sodium, potassium and chlorides, showed that there was deterioration of the health of these animals by the continuous use of residual water resulting from desalination, with probable economic loss in production, therefore studies on clinical-epidemiological, biochemical and hematological evaluations in these animals should be expanded and deepened
