The race more used in this modality and the Quarter Horse usually begins training very young. To have success, the animals must have high speed and acceleration, requiring high performance athletic horses. Reviews endoscopic reveal a high prevalence of diseases of the System Respiratory as Exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage in Athletes horses. For allow evaluation of post airways of horses, an endoscopy provides evaluate a blood amount deposited in the airways after exercises. Associated with endoscopic examination a blood gas analysis has been widely used in order to identify the behavior of gas exchange in high-performance horses, beyond for understanding of the balance electrolyte and acid-base in the animals find, possessing great value for understanding metabolic disorders. The present study goal was to assess how Airway, the profile of blood gases, electrolytes, acid-base balance of horses submitted the Three barrel training. Sixteen horses divided into two groups of 8 animals, regular training (RT - 5 times) and sporadic training (ET - 2 times a week) were used in the experiment. Endoscopy was performed before and 90 min after training. They were held two blood samples by puncturing the transverse facial artery before heating (M0) and immediately after training (M1), and the readings were performed with the I-Stat®. They were determined PCO2, PO2, SO2, pH, BE, HCO3 and TCO2, Na +, K +, iCa, Glucose, Hg e Ht. It was used ANOVA with repeated measures over time for comparisons of groups and time (p <0.05). The HFL befell was mild (1-2) the animals from both groups with 8/8 (100%) in the TR and 5/8 (62.5%) for the TE. Presence of serous trachea 4/8 (50%) for both groups. The EIPH befell was mild (1-2) the animals from both groups with 4/8 (50%) in the RT group and 3/8 (37.5%) for the TE group. Animals with grade 2 EIPH had mild hypoxemia and hypercapnia after exercise / FAPESP: 2014/23012-7

Ademais, compararam-se as alterações no equilíbrio ácido-base destes equinos QM com outros atletas da espécie equina, da raça Puro Sangue Árabe (PSA), competidores de enduro equestre de 160 km de distância. Adicionalmente, realizamos a comparação de dois métodos de cálculo da variável Atot. No experimento 1, 10 equinos da raça QM foram distribuídos em dois grupos, sendo um de desempenho superior (DS, n=5) e outro de desempenho inferior (DI, n=5). Submeteram-se estes equinos a uma corrida de TT e verificou-se as possíveis alterações no equilíbrio ácido-base pela abordagem tradicional e mecanicista, sendo os momentos de coleta antes e após o esforço. No experimento 2, 16 equinos da raça PSA participaram de uma prova seletiva de enduro equestre de 160 km e foram avaliados antes, durante e após a competição. Amostras de sangue venoso foram coletadas em ambos os experimentos. Determinou-se frequência cardíaca somente dos equinos QM. Quantificou-se variáveis fisiológicas, eletrolíticas e hemogasométricas de todos os equinos que participaram do presente estudo. Realizou-se para o experimento 1, teste t pareado e não pareado para diferenças entre os momentos e entre os grupos, respectivamente. Para o experimento 2, foi realizada análise de variância (ANAVA) para comparação das variáveis seguido do teste de Tukey para as diferenças estatísticas encontradas. Todas as análises foram realizadas com 95% de significância (p<0,05). As FCpico e FCm foram de 206 ± 8,7 e 203 ± 12,9, e de 181 ± 7,5 e 177 ± 3,5 bpm, para os grupos DS e DI, respectivamente. O principal distúrbio encontrado pelas duas metodologias para a modalidade TT foi a acidose metabólica. Para esta modalidade obtivemos concordância total... / The aim of the present study was to determine physiological, electrolytic and hemogasometric parameters of Quarter horses, with distinct fitness levels, submitted to a simulated barrel racing (BR). Moreover, the alterations in the acid-base balance were compared between Quarter and Arabian horses, competitors of equine endurance of 160 km. Besides, it was performed a comparison of two methods to determine the variable Atot. In the experiment 1, 10 Quarter horses were distributed in two groups, one composed by high fitness animals (HF, n=5) and other with lower fitness (LF, n=5). These horses were submitted to a BR and it was verified the possible alterations in the acid-base balance using the traditional and mechanistic approaches, being the collecting moments before and after the exercise. In the experiment 2, 16 Arabian horses participated in an endurance ride of 160 km and they were evaluated before, during and after the competition. Samples of venous blood were collected in both experiments. The heart frequency was determined only for the Quarter horses. Physiological, electrolytic and hemogasometric parameters were quantified for all equines of the present study. Were performed for the experiment 1, the t-paired and not-paired t-test between moments and groups, respectively. For the experiment 2, it was performed the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare the variables followed by Tukey’s test. All analysis were performed with 95% of significance. The FCpeak e FCm were 206 ± 8,7 and 203 ± 12,9 bpm for the HF group, and 181 ± 7,5 e 177 ± 3,5 bpm for the LF group. The main disturbance found by the two approaches for the BR was the metabolic acidosis. For this discipline, total matching between the approaches was obtained. For endurance, 10 animals sucessfully completed the competition and 6 were eliminated. The main disturbance found in the sucessfull animals for both approaches was the metabolic alkalosis.

This study evaluated the interactions between early thermal conditioning (ETC) and the electrolyte balance (EB) on performance and characteristics of birds' carcass. Thus, the electrolyte balance (BE = Na+ + K+ - Cl- ), was set to 350mEq/kg and electrolyte ratio (K+ + Cl- )/ Na+ in 3:1 by PPFR program. The experiment was carried out at the Animal Science department of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Araçatuba / UNESP. It was used 240 male chicks of 1 day old, Cobb-500®, lodged in metal batteries with 24 divisions and automatic electric heating. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement 2x2, totaling 4 treatments with 6 replicates and 10 birds per experimental plot. ETC occurred on the 5th day of age for 24 hours at 36.5 °C in half of the batch. Subsequently, these birds were transferred to an environmentally controlled shed and were grown in boxes, in the same way as the other half that not received ETC treatment. The effects of chronic heat stress (6 hours at 32 °C) applied from the 35th through the 39th day of age were evaluated. Temperature and air humidity, as well black-globe temperature were monitored electronically. Food and water were provided ad libitum. The growth performance data and the mortality rate of birds were measured. The results were subjected to analysis of variance and comparison of means was done by Tukey test. There were no interaction effects between ETC and EB on performance and characteristics of birds' carcass. The strategies ETC and EB proved to be ineffective in order to mitigate the effects of chronic heat stress in broilers
