Disponível em: <https://www.revistas.ufg.br/pat/article/view/2027/1917>.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/11789Cases de nypophosphorose in dairy cattle were studied fn ContaPª m Country in the State of Minas Gerais - Brazil. The serum and calcium levels of six (6) sick animals, before and Twenty-one (21) days afther the treatment began, were determined. The treatment consisted of Phos-20 and bonemeal which were permanently ·ai1able in the feeder. lhe levéls of calciu11 and phosphosrous in the soil and in the "jaraguã" grass IHypahenia u&«I of the pasture of the two ranches were also determined. ln the first group, the parenteral treatment consisted of Phos-20, g1ven in a daily dose of 10 ml per 100 kg of animal weight for 10 days and bonemeal permanently available, in the feeder with salt (NaCL) alongside. ln the secund group, 1 mg of cobalt sulphate, diluted in 20 mlof water, was administered by mouth to each aminal daily for 10 days and salt was always 1 available to each. Afterwards, because of the negative result' of the cobalt treatment in this group, the treatment which had been administered the first group, was given to the second. Following this, the clinical picture of the cattle fn the second group showed det'inite i11provement. lhe third group was 91. ven no treatment for an equal perio of time. After the boneme salt, and Phos-20 treat11ent, the cattle recovered pa'rtially,but were left sterile, a side-effect of the treatment. ln the cattle of the first group the sympto•s disappeared after the first week of treatment with Phos-20 and bon meal. ln all of the animals treated with phosphorous sources , the phosphostemia returned to normal leveis, when the bonemeal and sart were furnished constantly in the fe_ed. Tnere was a close correlation between the phosphorous levels in the serum of the animals and the the phosphorous lev_Ts in the soil and the •jaraguã 11 grass (hypa.Jt.11.he.nia. Jtu6al. The clinical diagnosis of hipophosphorous was based on the analysis of the following clinicai data: symptoms, disease history, the level of phosphorous in the cattle serum the histopathological exam of bane tissue, and th phosphorti·1 s levels in the grazfng grass an soil of the two ranches where the experiment was carried out.porAcesso AbertoHipofosforose em bovinos no município de Contagem - Minas GeraisArtigo1517-6398
