Resumo
Best zootechnical indexes are important in beef cattle breeding. It is allied to the
satisfactory conditions of creation and sanity. If not observed, metabolic imbalances
may occur. The post mortem relationship between ruminal disturbances, hepatic
abscesses and foot diseases was evaluated in beef cattle finished in pasture in a
southwestern state of Goias. Then, an evaluation of the financial losses was carried out
due to ruminal condemnations of cattle slaughtered in southwestern state of Goias.
About the relationship, 970 male bovines, Nelore, 25 to 36 months of age, were
evaluated by ante-mortem and post-mortem examination of the hoof, liver and rumen.
It was considered the presence or absence of diseases. Data analyzed by the chi-square
test (p <0.05). In the financial study, we considered the findings of 1,275 male bovine
animals, Nellore, 25 to 36 months of age, 597 confined and 678 to pasture. Data
analyzed by descriptive statistics. 363 cattle with hoof diseases, hepatic abscesses or
ruminal disorders. 52 with hoof diseases, nine with hepatic abscess and 302 with
ruminal alterations. Of these, 27 with two associated diseases. None with three
simultaneous lesions. Ruminal lesions were found in 47 confined animals and 29 to
pasture. The mean rumen weight with lesion was 4.55 kg and the mean rumen weight
healthy was 4.50. The total condemned weight was 345.50 kg, 213.50 of confined cattle
and 132 of pasture. The loss was R $ 2,245.75 (US $ 688.88), if sold domestically, or
R $ 3,154.41 (US $ 967.62), if exported. There was no postmortem relationship
between ruminitis, hepatic abscess and hoof diseases in the evaluated animals. The
financial impact of ruminal condemnations was significant.
