RESUMO
Parasitic diseases occupy a prominent place among swine pathologies. The losses go from mortality, morbidity. The degree of contamination depends on the production system used, the way of handling and the hygiene conditions. In the municipality of Paraipaba in the state of Ceará, the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in pigs is unknown. Thus, this study aimed to analyze through coproparasitological exams the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in swine from a farm in the municipality of Paraipaba, in the state of Ceará. In a pig breeding in the municipality of Paraipaba, which keeps a total of 100 animals between breeders, breeders and piglets in the nursery, growth and finishing phases were collected directly from the rectal ampoule, made from the feces of 50 pigs of different ages, chosen randomly, to conduct research on protozoa and helminths through direct examination techniques, Willis technique, sedimentation and zinc fluctuation. In optical microscopy it was observed that of the 50 animals collected, 20% had oocysts of Cystoisospora sp. and 28% had Strongyloides sp. The high percentage of gastrointestinal parasites in swine raised in the municipality of Paraipaba warns of inadequate handling and hygiene conditions as these animals are reared, predisposing to infestation of gastrointestinal parasites in animals that cause damage to their health, as well as production and losses due to increase in the number of deaths.(AU)

A síndrome de úlcera gástrica equina (SUGE) é uma patologia com grande incidência na espécie equina. Causa danos à saúde e bem-estar animal, gerando queda de desempenho atlético ocasionando, também, perdas econômicas aos proprietários. Apresenta sinais clínicos inespecíficos, o que pode gerar interpretações errôneas, visto que o diagnóstico definitivo somente é possível com o uso de gastroscopia. Com isso, o objetivo foi relatar um caso clínico de equino com SUGE, bem como a importância da gastroscopia para um diagnóstico correto. Um equino macho, seis anos de idade, com 440kg, foi recebido no HDM Horse Service com encaminhamento cirúrgico de outro veterinário. Após anamnese e exame clínico, essa indicação foi descartada e a suspeita clínica de SUGE foi proposta. A confirmação de diagnóstico foi através do exame de gastroscopia, no qual foi possível observar ulcerações na mucosa gástrica. O tratamento foi instituído com fluidoterapia, flunixin meglumine para controle da dor, uma bisnaga de omeprazol por via oral durante 28 dias e protetores de mucosa como sucralfato, uma bisnaga, via oral por 15 dias. O animal obteve melhora considerável no quadro clínico inicial, seguido por recuperação total e retorno gradativo a suas atividades atléticas. Pode-se concluir que, a gastroscopia desempenhou papel fundamental para o esclarecimento do quadro clínico do paciente, apresentando um diagnóstico adequado e definitivo, e proporcionado um tratamento correto para a patologia.(AU)
Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (SUGE) is a pathology with great incidence in the equine species. It causes damages to the health and animal welfare, generating a fall of athletic performance, causing, also, economic losses to the owners. It presents nonspecific clinical signs, which can generate erroneous interpretations, since the definitive diagnosis is only possible with the use of gastroscopy. With this, the objective was to report a clinical case of equine with SUGE, as well as the importance of gastroscopy for a correct diagnosis. A 4-kg, 6-year-old male horse was received at the HDM Horse Service with surgical referral from another veterinarian. After anamnesis and clinical examination, this indication was discarded and the clinical suspicion of SUGE was proposed. The diagnosis was confirmed by gastroscopy, in which it was possible to observe ulcerations in the gastric mucosa. The treatment was instituted with fluid therapy, flunixin meglumine for pain control, an oral omeprazole tube for 28 days and mucosal protectors such as sucralfate, a tube, orally for 15 days. The animal obtained a considerable improvement in the initial clinical picture, followed by total recovery and gradual return to its athletic activities. It can be concluded that gastroscopy played a fundamental role in clarifying the patient's clinical condition, presented an adequate and definitive diagnosis, and provided the correct treatment for a pathology.(AU)
