Título: AVALIAÇÃO DA FUNÇÃO RENAL EM CÃES NÃO AZOTÊMICOS IDOSOS Autor: Iurkiw, Juliana Horst Primeiro orientador: Falbo, Margarete Kimie Abstract: Renal health is fundamental to animal welfare, but can be harmed by conditions such as acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, which makes biomarkers evaluation important in order to increase longevity and quality. of life of the geriatric patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the kidney health of non-azothemical elderly dogs through routine biomarkers such as UPC (protein/creatinine relationship), urinesis, fractional chloride excretion (FECl), urinary gamma-gammiltransferase (uGGT) and phosphate Urinary Alkaline (uALP) in the early identification of renal injury and compare with structural changes through renal ultrasound. In a total of 106 dogs evaluated, 74 animals were selected for the elderly group aged 7 to 17 years and 12 dogs of the young group aged 1 to 4 years. Animal animals with serum creatinine (sCr)> 1.4 mg/dL, or pre-existing diseases were excluded from the study. Performed the exams of blood count, serum biochemicals: sCr, urea, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, sodium and potassium, and urinary: UPC, uGGT, uALP and FECl, as well as urinalysis. In a portion of dogs that had a change in the UPC exam, ultrasound exam was performed. Statistical differences were found in UPC exams and uGGT/uCr ratio (p <0.05). UPC and uGGT exams were effective in detecting renal injury when compared to other tests such as serum creatinine and urea, and FECl. These tests, together with ultrasound evaluation, assist the clinician in the best management of the elderly patient.

Título: EFEITO DE CULTURA DE Saccharomyces cerevisiae, MONENSINA SÓDICA OU SUA ASSOCIAÇÃO NA SAÚDE DE NOVILHOS TERMINADOS EM CONFINAMENTO Autor: Morais, Cássio Henrique Martins Primeiro orientador: Bertagnon, Heloisa Godoi Abstract: With the aim of increasing the health of steers finished in confinement, 36 non-castrated steers with ½ Angus x Nelore blood were used with 416 kg of initial live weight and 14 months of age, grouped into three treatments sodium monensin (MO) – diet with sodium monensin (250 mg animal per day of Rumensin-Elanco®); PFSC – diet with S. cerevisiae fermentation products (PFSC) (7g animal per day of Cultron - Aleris®) and Association – diet with an association of MO plus PFSC in the same dosages as the isolated groups. Confinement and food management predisposes animals to subacute ruminal acidosis syndrome (SARA) as well as causing damage to other organs such as liver, hooves and lungs. The diet was composed of 65/35 concentrate/roughage. The immune, inflammatory, liver status and respiratory tract health were assessed at the beginning (7 and 35 days), middle (63 and 91 days) and end (119 days) of confinement. Treatment of animals in the PFSC group improved immunity and reduced systemic and pulmonary inflammation. The treatment of animals in the MO group had intermediate effects on several parameters, presenting a higher incidence of pneumonia, while the association group presented intermediate values for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), while it demonstrated higher values for total protein and albumin compared to the other groups, MO presented higher serum levels of AST and GGT. In the ruminal evaluation, MO demonstrated distinct macroscopic and microscopic changes, indicating greater changes in papillae such as the height, width and area of larger papillae in the MO treatment compared to the other treatments." It was concluded that PFSC was the best additive for the immunity and health of confined cattle, the Association showed intermediate effects on immunity, animal health and rumen changes, with an impact on lung changes similar to treatment with MO alone.

Título: DIAGNÓSTICO SITUACIONAL DO ABRIGO MUNICIPAL DE CÃES EM GUARAPUAVA-PR Autor: Bahia dos Santos, Danielle Louisy Primeiro orientador: Falbo, Margarete Kimie Abstract: Shelters work to rescue vulnerable animals, offering neutering, treatment and adoption, but 55% of dogs do not find new homes, leading to overcrowding. At the municipal shelter in Guarapuava, Paraná, the situation is similar, with overcrowding, negatively affecting the animals’ well-being. To understand how the shelter operates, a questionnaire was conducted with the people responsible for the shelter, covering aspects such as animal admission, agreements, adoption and death rates, post-adoption monitoring, logistics, health management, staff and financial resources. The shelter population was assessed, and flow calculations were performed to understand staff capacity and employee demand. Animal well-being was analyzed using the Shelter Quality Protocol (SPQ), which assesses shelter management, accommodation conditions and each animal individually, considering the “five freedoms”: adequate food, housing, health and behavior. The situational assessment indicated immediate and medium- to long-term actions, such as formalizing procedures, using PPE, registering animals, renovating facilities, and recruiting more staff. In addition, educational campaigns on responsible ownership and raising public awareness are crucial to reducing the stray dog population and ensuring responsible adoptions. Collaboration between government, civil society, and educational institutions is essential to implementing sustainable solutions, such as population control policies, laws against abandonment, and tax incentives for adoptions. Shelter management must be ethical, transparent, and committed to animal welfare, promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.

EFEITO DA PAREDE CELULAR DE SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE NA IMUNIDADE E SAÚDE RESPIRATÓRIA E INTESTINAL DE BEZERRAS NEONATAS

Título: EFEITO DA PAREDE CELULAR DE SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE NA IMUNIDADE E SAÚDE RESPIRATÓRIA E INTESTINAL DE BEZERRAS NEONATAS Autor: Silva, Layssa Ferreira Primeiro orientador: Bertagnon, Heloísa Godoi Abstract: Although there is evidence that yeast supplementation reduces diseases in newborn calves, little is known about the effect of yeast cell wall (LCW), a fraction that concentrates more immunomodulatory substances. For this reason, we evaluated whether YCW supplementation improves immunity and reduces the occurrence of respiratory and intestinal diseases in newborn calves, in a sanitary challenge of colibacillosis and vaccination against bovine respiratory complex (BRC). Forty healthy calves (39.65 ± 2.8 kg of body weight and 4 days of age) were randomly divided into four groups: control (C), supplemented (10 g/day YCW), vaccinated (V- intranasal vaccination against BRC virus), and supplemented vaccinated (V+LCW). Milk supplementation was daily from day 0, at the age of 4 days. The vaccine was administered in a single dose at 19 days of age. From 4 to 39 days of life, the occurrence of CRB, diarrhea and weight gain were monitored. Immunity was measured by the oxidative metabolism of blood neutrophils, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and serum IgG and IgA levels at 4, 22, 25 and 39 days of life of the calves. There is evidence that YCW reduced diarrhea and CRB in the animals. It promoted greater production of serum IgA (V+YCW > V P=0.045) and prevented the reduction of neutrophil oxidative metabolism after the vaccine (V+YCW> V P=0.05), promoting greater weight gain in the animals (YCW and V+YCW > C and V, P<0.001), allowing us to conclude that YCW improves the health of neonatal calves.
