Study of Morbidity, Mortality and Disease in Colombian Mixed Race Foals During their First 30 Days of Life in Bogota’s Savannah ; Estudio de la morbilidad, mortalidad y de enfermedades en potros de caballo criollo colombiano durante los 30 primeros días de vida en la sabana de Bogotá ; Estudo da morbidez, mortalidade e de doenças em potros de cavalo criollo (típico) colombiano durante os primeiros 30 dias de vida na savana de Bogotá

A prospective cohort study was conducted for one year in 35 Colombian mixed race horse farms in the savannah of Bogota. A follow-up was made to 192 foals born alive during this period, births that were registered throughout the entire study year, due to the tropical conditions of the evaluated region, and the management factors of the studied farms were characterized. A morbidity rate of 27.7/100/year and a mortality of 0.7/100/year were determined in the first 30 days of life. The incidence rate of the most observed diseases was febrile syndrome (5.7/100/year), respiratory illness with fever... Mehr ...

A prospective cohort study was conducted for one year in 35 Colombian mixed race horse farms in the savannah of Bogota. A follow-up was made to 192 foals born alive during this period, births that were registered throughout the entire study year, due to the tropical conditions of the evaluated region, and the management factors of the studied farms were characterized. A morbidity rate of 27.7/100/year and a mortality of 0.7/100/year were determined in the first 30 days of life. The incidence rate of the most observed diseases was febrile syndrome (5.7/100/year), respiratory illness with fever (4.9/100/year) and diarrhea with fever (3.9/100/year). It was also determined that in the first 48 hours of life the highest incidence of disease is presented with 60.9% foals/week, mostly caused by angular and flexural deformities, febrile syndrome, respiratory illness and diarrhea with fever. Subsequently, morbidity decreases until the 30th day of life, when an incidence of 11% occurs, mainly because of respiratory illness with fever. ; Se realizó un estudio prospectivo de cohortes durante un año en 35 fincas de caballo criollo colombiano en la sabana de Bogotá. Se hizo seguimiento a 192 potros nacidos vivos en este periodo, de los cuales se registraron los nacimientos durante todo el año de estudio, debido a las condiciones tropicales de la región evaluada, y se caracterizaron los factores de manejo de las fincas del estudio. Se determinó una tasa de morbilidad del 27,7/100/año y del 0,77/100/ año de mortalidad en los primeros 30 días vida. La tasa de incidencia de las enfermedades más observadas fueron síndrome febril (5,7/100/año), enfermedad respiratoria con fiebre (4,9/100/año) y diarrea con fiebre (3,9/100/año). También se determinó que en las primeras 48 horas de vida se presenta la mayor incidencia de enfermedad con 60,9 % potros/ semana, causada en su mayoría por deformidades angulares y flexurales, síndrome febril, enfermedad respiratoria y diarrea con fiebre. Subsecuentemente, la morbilidad desciende hasta el ...
