Resumo

The urinary acidifiers as ammonium chloride and citric acid have been used in the treatment of urinary tract diseases. These illnesses lead to important losses to the brazilian and worldwide swine production. In the present work the hematological and biochemical parameters of sows getting citric acid and ammonium chloride in the food were evaluated. In the present study 48 animals were distributed into 6 groups: group sc-positive control, group nc-negative control, group sac-sows with urinary infection getting citric acid in the food, group sca-sows with urinary infection getting ammonium chloride in the food, nac-sows without urinary infection getting citric acid in the food and group ncasows without urinary infection getting chloride ammonium in the food. Significant differences were observed between the group of animals with urinary infection and the group of animals without urinary infection regarding the medium values of serum creatinine, hemoglobin, hematocrit and MCHC. The medium values of creatinine, hemoglobin and hematrocit were higher in the group of animals with urinary infection. The value of MCHC was higher in the group of animals without urinary infection. Regarding the different treatments, it was observed that the citric acid was able to increase the values of serum albumin in animals without urinary infection, to reduce the value of MCV and the white blood cells counting as well as it increased the value of MCHC in the group of animals with urinary infection and only the value of MCHC in this group was not according to the reference values. The ammonium chloride reduced significantly the values of hemoglobin and hematocrit in animals with and without urinary infection, as well as it reduced the MCV of animals with urinary infection, where the values were according to the reference values. The conclusion is that the presence of urinary infection changed the values of serum creatinine and that the use of citric acid and ammonium chloride didn t change significantly the hematological and biochemical parameters of sows with and without urinary infection.
