Resumo
Dorsal patellar fixation is a syndrome observed in
large animals, occurring in cattle uni or bilaterally, on both
sexes and of several breeds and age. The scope of this
study was to evaluate the occurrence and potential risk
factors related to the condition in cattle submitted to distinct
management. The study took place in 30 cattle raising farms
from January/1998 to August/2002, where there were 41
affected animals. A questionnaire was employed, collecting
data such as: animal description, lactating and or pregnancy
stages, degree of genetic relation, soil quality and
topography. Corporal scores were established considering
physical condition and several characteristics of the
animals. Fifty-six percent of crossbred animals were found,
from five to nine years suffering from the condition, with
greater occurrence in females from two to three years and
males during mating season. The condition had greater
evidence in animals of poor body score, lactating, pregnant,
and during the dry season. Episodes of spontaneous
recovery occurred during the rainy season. It was observed
that 76,6% of the affected animals were on cerrado (savannalike)
pasture and 23,4% were on pasture of more fertile soils.
The findings of this study suggest that several risk factors
could contribute or be associated to the triggering off dorsal
patellar fixation in cattle.
