Abstract(s)
As infeções uterinas são doenças comuns que afetam vacas leiteiras durante o período de
pós-parto. A saúde uterina está muitas vezes comprometida em bovinos devido à contaminação do
lúmen uterino no pós-parto por agentes microbianos que podem causar doença clinica. Ocorrem com
frequência e representam prejuízos económicos para as explorações devido aos gastos com
tratamento, bem como à diminuição da eficiência reprodutiva, descarte de leite e aumento dos índices
de refugo. Apesar destas doenças serem amplamente discutidas permanecem ainda em discussão
alguns aspetos relativos à definição, diagnóstico, tratamento e influência das mesmas na
performance reprodutiva futura dos animais afetados. Desta forma pretende-se assim com este
trabalho contribuir para o esclarecimento de alguns destes aspetos numa perspectiva de revisão.
Ao longo da revisão bibliográfica apresentada no presente trabalho é abordada a definição, a
classificação, os níveis de incidência, o impacto económico, os fatores de risco, os diferentes
métodos de diagnóstico e tipos de tratamento da doença uterina.
Uterine infections are common diseases that affect dairy cows during the postpartum period. Uterine health is often compromised in cattle due to postpartum contamination of the uterine lumen by microbial agents that might cause clinical disease. This frequently occurs and represent economic losses for the farms due to treatment costs, decreased reproductive efficiency, discarded milk and increase culling rates. Although widely discussed some aspects of this disease remain under discussion, namely on their definition, diagnosis, treatment and influence in future reproductive performance. Thus the aim of this work is to clarify this aspects based on a bibliographic review. Throughout this literature review, we addresse the definition, classification, prevalence, economic impact, risk factors, the different methods of diagnosis and treatment protocols to treat this diseases.
