Deficiência de selénio em pequenos ruminantes

Abstract

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária Os minerais intervêm em muitas das vias metabólicas do organismo animal, tendo funções importantes na performance reprodutiva, na manutenção do crescimento, no metabolismo energético, na função imune, entre outras funções fisiológicas. Os minerais são importantes não só para a manutenção da vida do animal, mas também para o aumento da produtividade. No entanto, nem sempre os alimentos possuem quantidades ideais e suficientes de minerais para cobrir as necessidades dos animais levando ao aparecimento de deficiências minerais se não se proceder a uma suplementação. Face à importância do selénio na produtividade e saúde dos animais, é necessário procurar conhecer cada vez mais e melhor este oligoelemento de modo a prevenir e detetar precocemente as deficiências existentes nas explorações. Um dos grandes problemas com que o médico veterinário se depara aquando da avaliação do estado de selénio de um animal ou de um grupo de animais é com a falta de métodos de diagnóstico rápidos, fáceis, eficazes e pouco dispendiosos. Este trabalho foi realizado com o intuito de avaliar a existência ou não de uma correlação entre a concentração de selénio presente no sangue, músculo cardíaco, músculo-esquelético e fígado. Com este trabalho concluímos que existe uma correlação positiva, estatisticamente significativa, com p<0,01, entre o fígado e o coração. Existe também uma correlação positiva entre o músculo e o coração e o músculo e o fígado, com uma significância estatística de p<0,05. Minerals are involved in many metabolic pathways in animals and they play an important role in many physiological functions such as reproductive performance, growth maintenance, energy metabolism and immune function. Minerals are important not only for the maintenance of animal’s life, but also for the increase of their productivity. However, animal feed does not always include an amount of minerals enough to meet all the animals’ needs. This may lead to the mineral deficiencies if no supplementation takes place. Given the importance of selenium in animals’ productivity and health, it is important to know more and better about this trace element so its flaws can be prevented and early detected in farms. One of the major problems that the veterinarian faces when comes to evaluate the level of selenium of an animal or a group of animals is the lack of rapid, easy, effective and inexpensive diagnostic methods. This work was performed in order to assess whether there is a correlation in the concentration of selenium between blood, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and liver. This study concluded that there is a positive correlation, statistically significant, with p<0.01, between the liver and the heart. There is also a positive correlation between the muscle and the heart and the muscle and liver, with a statistical significance of p <0.05.
