Abstract(s)
Numa escala mundial a carne de suínos é uma das mais procuradas pelos consumidores. Sendo por isso importante que os controlos oficiais dos produtos de origem animal envolvam a natureza multifatorial para permitir a manutenção da saúde pública. O ato de inspeção sanitária desempenha um papel imprescindível na garantia da segurança alimentar, do bem-estar animal e da saúde publica.
O presente estudo pretendeu analisar de forma retrospetiva, as causas de rejeição total de suínos num matadouro localizado na região de Santarém, relativamente a um período de 12 anos. Pretendeu ainda determinar possíveis associações entre os motivos de rejeição e a localização geográfica e a sazonalidade.
Verificou-se uma taxa de rejeição de 0,32%. No período em análise foram abatidos 2 185 883 porcos provenientes de explorações localizadas em Portugal e Espanha, sendo que foram rejeitados 7035 animais. Verificou-se que as causas mais comuns corresponderam a osteomielites, artrites, pneumonias, abcessos e peritonites. Na generalidade, os resultados estiveram conforme os estudos anteriores. Adicionalmente verificou-se uma correlação entre motivos de rejeição e a época do ano, designadamente com ocorrência superior em estações frias.
As informações registadas em matadouro e exploração das tendências detetadas ao longo do tempo expõem o panorama epidemiológico de diferentes doenças e, desta forma, evidenciam-se como ferramentas válidas para a avaliação da evolução das principais doenças ao longo do tempo, corrigir falhas estruturais e defender a saúde pública. Nota-se uma necessidade de um esforço conjunto para a uniformização das bases de dados e aprofundar futuramente o estudo de tendências.
On a global scale, pork meat is one of the most sought after by consumers. Therefore, it is important that official controls on animal products should include the multifactorial nature as to allows the maintenance of public health. The act of sanitary inspection executes an essential role in ensuring food safety, animal welfare and public health. The present study refers to the activity of a slaughterhouse in Santarém for 12 years. It aims to retrospectively analyze causes of total rejection of pigs and possible correlations between condemnation causes, geographic location and seasonality. There was a rejection rate of 0,32%. During the period of analysis, 2185883 pigs were slaughtered from farms in Portugal and Spain, with 7035 animals rejected. It was found that the most common causes were osteomyelitis, arthritis, pneumonia, abscesses and peritonitis. In general, the results were in accordance with previous studies, however there was also a correlation found between condemnation causes and the time of year (most occurrences during cold seasons). The information recorded in slaughterhouses and the exploration of trends detected over time expose the epidemiological overview of different diseases and, in consequence, stand out as valid tools for assessing the evolution of main diseases over time, correcting structural flaws and preserving public health. There is a need for a team effort to standardize databases and encourage the study of trends in the future.
