ABSTRACT

Um surto de intoxicação espontânea por antibióticos ionóforos em ovinos da região Central do Rio Grande do Sul é descrito. Os 16 ovinos afetados estavam em campo nativo e ingeriram acidentalmente um aditivo alimentar para frangos contendo 250g/kg de narasina. Os sinais clínicos consistiam de fraqueza, incoordenação, dispnéia, secreção nasal, decúbito e morte em poucas horas. Um ovino apresentou urina escura. Macroscopicamente havia ascite, hidrotórax, edema pulmonar e palidez hepática. Discreto grau de degeneração muscular na musculatura esquelética dos membros pélvicos e torácicos foi observado histologicamente. O diagnóstico de intoxicação por narasina foi realizado com base no histórico (ingestão de aditivo alimentar contendo narasina) e nos achados clinico-patológicos.


An outbreak of spontaneous ionophore toxicity in sheep grazing in native pasture in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil is described. Sixteen sheep which had accidental access to a chicken feed additive containing 250g/kg of narasin were affected. Clinical signs consisted of weakness, incoordination, dyspnea, nasal discharge, recumbency, and death in a few hours. One sheep showed dark red urine. Grossly there were ascites, hydrothorax, pulmonary edema, and hepatic paleness. Discrete skeletal muscle degeneration was observed histologically in the muscles of the pelvic and thoracic limbs. The diagnostic of narasin toxicosis was based on history (ingestion of feed additive containing narasin), clinical, and pathological findings.
