With the objective of explaining the question of survival of cattle affected by Enzootic Hematuria, when transferred to areas free of Pteridium arachnoideum, the study was accomplished in two parts: a) by a questionnaire regarding the epidemic aspects of that illness, which was answered by the proprietors of 73 cattle establishments visited in the areas of Southeast of Brazil, where P. arachnoideum is prevalent. The applied questionnaire to the proprietors indicates that enzootic hematuria is responsible for serious socioeconomic problems; b) clinical and laboratorial attendance of 51 cattle of this area affected by Enzootic Hematuria, between 2007 and 2011, transferred to area free of P. arachnoideum. More than 90% of the affected animals by HEB died before two years after removal from areas free of P. arachnoideum. |
