Resumen
El sector agropecuario es actualmente la quinta actividad económica más importante por su
aporte al producto interno bruto. Uno de los impactos más significativos de la globalización lo
constituye la necesidad de los países de fortalecer sus servicios veterinarios para promover y
proteger la salud animal y humana.
El objetivo del presente proyecto consistió en realizar la pasantía en abordaje clínico y
terapéutico de hatos lecheros y granjas porcinas de diferentes zonas del país entre mayo y agosto
del 2015, con el fin de desarrollar y mejorar las destrezas y conocimientos ya adquiridos durante
el periodo de estudio universitario.
La pasantía se llevó a cabo en diferentes zonas del país; los hatos lecheros se ubicaron en
las zonas aledañas al Volcán Poás, San Ramón de Tres Ríos, San José de la Montaña y Chomes
de Puntarenas, las porquerizas se localizaron en Guápiles, San Ramón de Alajuela y Rio Cuarto
de Grecia.
En cerdos cada patología encontrada representó un 25% de la totalidad de la casuística, y no
se observaron enfermedades de tipo metabólicas durante la pasantía.
En bovinos los problemas reproductivos y las patologías podales abarcaron más de la mitad
de la casuística, indicándonos esto la relevancia de la salud de estos sistemas para evitar
descartes involuntarios y pérdidas económicas significativas.
La realización de la pasantía como experiencia teórico – práctica permitió fortalecer las
destrezas y conocimientos ya adquiridos durante el periodo de estudio universitario. El uso de
ultrasonido como técnica diagnóstica permitió determinar el sexo de al menos seis fetos bovinos
de entre 55 a 60 días de preñez. La utilización de la prueba Speed Mam Color como técnica
diagnóstica fue valiosa, es un método práctico y la experiencia aun con ocho muestras fue
importante.
The agricultural sector is currently the fifth most important economic activity for its contribution to gross internal product. One of the most significant impacts of globalization is the need for countries to strengthen their veterinary services to promote and protect human and animal health. The aim of this project was the internship in clinical and therapeutic approach to dairy herds and pig farms in different parts of the country between May and August 2015 in order to develop and improve the skills and knowledge already acquired during the university study. The medical training took place in different parts of the country; dairy herds are located surrounding the Poás volcano, San Ramon de Tres Rios, San Jose de la Montana and Chomes of Puntarenas. Pig farms are located in Guápiles, San Ramon of Alajuela and Rio Cuarto of Grecia. Each disease found in pigs represented 25% of all casuistry, and no kind of metabolic diseases were observed during the internship. Reproductive problems in cattle and hoof pathologies covered more than half of the casuistry, indicating the health relevance of these systems to prevent inadvertent discards and significant economic losses. The internship experience as a theoretical - practice helped strengthen the skills and knowledge already acquired during the period of university study. Using ultrasound as a diagnostic technique allowed determining the sex of at least six cattle fetuses between 55-60 days of pregnancy. Using Speed Mam Color test as a diagnostic technique was valuable, it is a practical approach and experience even with eight samples was important.
