ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi observar a eficácia do método Famacha no diagnóstico clínico individual de haemoncose em ovinos provenientes do Sudoeste de Minas Gerais. Cinquenta ovelhas mestiças Santa Inês foram avaliadas durante 5 meses quanto à coloração da mucosa conjuntiva (método Famacha), volume globular (VG), ovos por grama de fezes (OPG), escore corporal e alterações clínicas. O escore Famacha observado variou de 1 a 3; o escore corporal de 2 a 5; o VG de 20 a 47%; e o OPG de 0 a 7.750. As correlações entre os parâmetros avaliados, exceto Famacha com escore corporal, foram altamente significativas (P < 0,0001). O principal gênero identificado nas coproculturas foi Haemonchus (87 a 100% do total de larvas, 93,5%). Constatou-se redução de 87,33% na utilização de anti-helmínticos na propriedade. Conclui-se que o método Famacha, associado a outros métodos de diagnóstico, é ferramenta útil nadetecção da haemoncose em ovinos.


The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Famacha method in individual clinical diagnosis of haemonchosis in sheep from the south-west of Minas Gerais. Fifty crossbred Santa Inês ewes were evaluated during 5 months as for conjunctival mucous colour (Famacha method), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Faecal Egg Counts (FEC), body score and clinic alterations. The score Famacha observed was from 1 to 3, the body score from 2 to 5, the PCV from 20 to 47%, and FEC from 0 to 7,750. The correlations between the parameters evaluated, except Famacha with body score, werehighly significant (P < 0.0001). The main genus identified in the coprocultures was Haemonchus (87 - 100% of total larvae, 93.5%). We observed reduction of 87.33% in the use of anthelmintics on the property. It was concluded that the Famacha method, associated with other diagnostic methods, is a useful tool to detect hemonchosis in sheep.
