Avaliação de quatro protocolos terapêuticos no pós-operatório de rufiões bovinos

Resumo

The objective of this study was to evaluate four protocols in the treatment of surgical wounds of cattle thugs prepared by modified technique of ventrolateral beflexion of the preputial orifice. 60 non-castrated steers were used, crossbred (Bos taurus x Bos indicus), clinically healthy, with an average age of 12 months. The animals were divided into four groups (n = 15), according to the treatment used in the postoperative period: Group I, commercial ointment 1; group II, commercial ointment 2; Group III povidone-iodine solution 10%; group IV, glycolic extract of barbatimão bark (Stryphnodendron adstringens) to 10%. It was evaluated macroscopically the number of animals with complete healing, healing time and post-operative complications. The histology evaluation of the skin for tissue reaction was held in the 15th and 21th postoperative day. There was no difference between treatments in GIII and GIV, but both had lower healing time (19.60 and 19.92 days respectively) greater number of animals with complete healing and lower postoperative complication rates compared to GI and GII (p <0.05). Histologically there was presence of mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate in all animals, with lots of lymphocytes in GI. The GIV showed greater amount of scar tissue on the 21st postoperative day. It follows that polyvidone iodine and glycolic extract of barbatimão bark 10% optimized the healing process and reduced the number of postoperative complications of surgical wounds in animals in this study.
