Abstract(s)
As doenças gastrointestinais representam uma das condições mais prevalentes em vitelos,
conferindo-lhes uma relevância crucial no contexto da medicina veterinária. As diarreias dos vitelos
são doenças gastrointestinais que afetam comumente os animais até alguns meses de idade.
Clinicamente, manifestam-se através de um quadro diarreico que conduz à desidratação e,
frequentemente, culmina na morte do vitelo em poucas horas ou dias, na ausência de tratamento.
As doenças gastrointestinais podem ter origem alimentar, ser de natureza infeciosa (bacteriana ou
viral) ou parasitária, sendo agravadas por diversos fatores ambientais. A relevância desta temática
transcende o âmbito puramente médico, estendendo-se também ao campo económico. Com efeito,
as perdas económicas associadas estão diretamente ligadas à mortalidade dos vitelos, ao atraso no
seu desenvolvimento e aos custos relacionados com os tratamentos. Assim, o objetivo primordial
deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão bibliográfica aprofundada sobre as doenças gastrointestinais em
vitelos e discutir como promover a saúde desses animais, contribuindo simultaneamente para a
sustentabilidade e eficiência na produção pecuária. Neste contexto, almeja-se analisar as estratégias
de diagnóstico, os tratamentos atualmente utilizados e as diversas medidas de prevenção disponíveis.
Gastrointestinal diseases represent one of the most prevalent conditions in calves, giving them crucial relevance in the context of veterinary medicine. Calf diarrhea encompasses those that can affect animals up to a few months of age. Clinically, they manifest through a diarrheal condition that leads to dehydration and often culminates in the calf's death within hours or days, in the absence of treatment. Gastrointestinal diseases can originate from food, be infectious (bacterial or viral) or parasitic, exacerbated by various environmental factors. The relevance of this topic transcends purely medical scope, extending also to the economic field. Indeed, the associated economic losses are directly linked to calf mortality, delays in their development, and costs related to treatments. Therefore, the primary objective of this work is to conduct an in-depth literature review on gastrointestinal diseases in calves and discuss how to promote the health of these animals, simultaneously contributing to sustainability and efficiency in livestock production. In this context, the aim is to analyze diagnostic strategies, currently used treatments, and various available preventive measures.
