Estudo clínico e biométrico de quatis (Nasua nasua, Linnaeus, 1766) de vida livre

Abstract

O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar parâmetros hematológicos, bioquímicos e biométricos de quatis (Nasua nasua) de vida livre que apresentam um grau de interação antrópica, da cidade de Botucatu, SP, além de verificar a influência do sexo sobre estes parâmetros. Foram estudados 16 quatis, nove fêmeas e sete machos. Após anestesiados, foram colhidas amostras de sangue, para determinação da função renal (uréia e creatinina), perfil lipídico (colesterol total e triglicérides) e função hepática (aspartato amino transferase- AST, alanina amino transferase- ALT, gamaglutamil transpeptidase- GGT e fosfatase alcalina- FA). Foram avaliados o peso corporal, escore de condição corporal (ECC), circunferência torácica e abdominal, altura da cernelha, comprimento da coluna e distância patela-calcâneo. A partir destes dados foram calculados dois índices de massa corporal (IMC), um baseado em cães (IMC1) e o outro em gatos (IMC2), e calculada a porcentagem de gordura corporal (%GC). Os resultados demonstraram valores significativamente superiores em machos para as hemácias, hemoglobina, hematócrito e FA, enquanto a contagem global de plaquetas e AST foram superiores em fêmeas. Na biometria, peso corporal, circunferência torácica e abdominal, comprimento da coluna e a medida patela-calcâneo foram significativamente superiores em machos. O IMC1 e IMC2 se correlacionaram com o peso corporal e com o ECC. A correlação entre %GC e peso corporal se mostrou significativa, mas não com o ECC. Conclui-se que parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos são influenciados pelo gênero em Nasua nasua, e os valores encontrados foram similares aos descritos na literatura para animais de vida livre ou de cativeiro. Há diferença na biometria entre machos e fêmeas, sendo o tamanho corporal dos machos maior. Os métodos de IMCs testados podem auxiliar na avaliação da condição corporal de quatis Nasua nasua, sendo o IMC utilizado em gatos o mais preciso.

The aim of this study was to evaluate hematological, biochemical and biometric parameters of coatis (Nasua nasua) that present a certain degree of anthropic interaction, from the city of Botucatu, SP, besides verifying the influence of sex on these parameters. Sixteen coatis were estudied, nine females and seven males. After anesthetized, blood samples were collected for determination of renal function (serum urea and creatinine), lipid profile (total cholesterol and triglycerides) and liver function (aspartate aminotransferase- AST, alanine aminotransferase- ALT, gammaglutamyl transpeptidase- GGT, alkaline phosphatase- FA enzymes). Body weight, body condition score (BCS), chest and abdominal circumference, height of the withers, column length and patellar-calcaneal distance were evaluated. Two body mass indexes (BMI) were calculated, one based on dogs (BMI1) and the other on cats (BMI2), and the percentage of body fat (%BF). The results showed that males had significantly larger values for red blood cell, hemoglobin, hematocrit and FA parameters, while the overall platelet count and AST were higher in females. In the biometric evaluation, body weight, thoracic and abdominal circumference, column length and patellar-calcanum measurement were significantly larger in males. BMI1 and BMI2 showed a significant correlation with body weight and BCS. The correlation between %BF and body weight was significant, but not witht BCS. In conclusion the hematological and biochemical parameters are influenced by gender in Nasua nasua, and the values found were similar to those described in free-living or captive animals in the referred literature. There is a difference in biometry between males and females, with male body size being greater. BMI methods testes can help to evaluate the body condition of Nasua nasua coatis, and BMI used in cats was the most accurate.
