Uso de aceite ozonificado en el tratamiento de retención placentaria en vacas

Abstract

This research focuses on evaluating ozonized oil as an alternative to conventional treatment for retained placenta in cattle, a common problem that can lead to serious complications if not properly managed. Retained placenta occurs when the placenta is not expelled completely after birth, which can cause infections and other reproductive issues. Traditionally, antibiotics have been used to manage this condition, but the excessive use of these drugs has led to resistance, motivating the search for new solutions. This study aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of ozonized oil as a viable treatment for retained placenta in cattle. With the increasing resistance to antibiotics, this alternative could represent a significant advance in managing this condition, promoting faster recovery and improving the overall health of the animals, with additional benefits for the profitability and sustainability of livestock operations in the studied region. Ozonized oil, known for its bactericidal and fungicidal properties, is proposed as an effective alternative. The study seeks to demonstrate that ozonized oil can prevent post-partum issues such as metritis and endometritis, and enhance profitability through quicker recovery and higher conception rates. Retained placenta remains a significant issue in various forms of cattle production, from grazing systems to confined operations. This study aims to find an alternative to the use of antibiotics to improve animal health and production efficiency, as the use of these drugs in livestock has led to bacterial resistance and increased recovery times for animals affected by retained placenta. Implementing ozonized oil could offer a solution that minimizes these problems, accelerating recovery and reducing residues in animal products, which could ultimately increase profitability and efficiency in livestock operations.
