Resumo
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito protetor da acetamida nas intoxicações experimentais por Pseudocalymma elegans em ovinos, caprinos e coelhos, com a finalidade de comprovar indiretamente que o monofluoroacetato (MF) é responsável pelos sinais clínicos e a morte dos animais que ingerem essa planta. Foram realizados experimentos para determinar a dose letal da planta coletada em Rio Bonito, RJ, em diferentes épocas do ano para ovinos e caprinos e ajustar a dose de acetamida a ser administrada. - No primeiro experimento, dois ovinos e dois caprinos receberam 1,0g/kg de P. elegans fresca e um animal de cada espécie foi tratado previamente com 2,0g/kg de acetamida. Nenhum animal apresentou alterações clínicas ou morreu. Ao que tudo indica a planta poderia estar menos tóxica, já que foi coletada no fim da estação das águas. - No segundo experimento, dois ovinos e dois caprinos receberam 0,67 e 1,0g/kg da planta dessecada, após tratamento prévio, com 2,0 e 3,0g/kg de acetamida, respectivamente. Todos os animais morreram, pois administramos doses muito altas de P. elegans. - No terceiro experimento, dois ovinos e dois caprinos receberam 0,333g/kg de P. elegans dessecada, após administração prévia de 2,0 g/kg de acetamida. Uma semana depois, o protocolo acima foi repetido, porém sem o antídoto. Nos experimentos com coelhos, foram administradas doses de 0,5 e 1,0g/kg de elegans dessecada após a administração de 3,0g/kg de acetamida. Sete dias depois, repetiu-se o protocolo, com exceção da administração de acetamida. Esta, quando administrada previamente, evitou o aparecimento dos sinais clínicos e a morte dos ovinos, caprinos e coelhos, já os animais não tratados com acetamida apresentaram sintomatologia e morreram. Clinicamente, os ovinos e caprinos manifestaram taquicardia, jugulares ingurgitadas, pulso venoso positivo, decúbito esternal e tremores musculares. Na "fase dramática", os animais caíam em decúbito lateral, esticavam ...(AU)This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of acetamid in experimental poisoning by Pseudocalymma elegans in sheep, goats and rabbits, in order to prove indirectly that monofluoroacetate (MF) is responsible for the clinical signs and death of animals that ingested the plant. Experiments were performed to determine for sheep and goats the lethal dose of P. elegans collected in Rio Bonito, RJ, in different seasons, and to adjust the dose of acetamid to be administered. - In the first experiment, two sheep and two goats received 1.0g/kg of fresh P. elegans, and two (one sheep and one goat) were pretreated with 2.0g/kg of acetamid. None of the animals showed clinical signs or died. Possibly, the plant could be less toxic, since it was collected at the end of the rainy season. - In the second experiment, two sheep and two goats received 0.67 and 1.0g/kg of the dried plant, after pretreatment with 2.0 and 3.0g/kg of acetamid, respectively. All animals died, as the administered doses of P. elegans were very high. - In the third experiment, two sheep and two goats received 0.333g/kg of dried P. elegans after previous administration of 2.0g/kg of acetamid; a week later, the protocol above was repeated, but without the antidote. In experiments with rabbits, doses of 0.5 and 1.0g/kg of dried P. elegans were given after administration of 3.0g/kg of acetamid; seven days later, the same protocol was repeated, except the administration of acetamide. This procedure, when acetamid was administered before, prevented the appearance of clinical signs and death of sheep, goats and rabbits. But the animals not treated with acetamid showed symptoms of poisoning and died. Clinically, the sheep and goats had tachycardia, engorged jugular vein, positive venous pulse, lateral recumbence, and muscle tremors. In the "dramatic phase", the animals fell into lateral position, stretched the limbs, were paddling and died within minutes. The rabbits showed apathy, ...(AU)
