ABSTRACT
Equine syndromes are determined by a combination of touch-sensitive acupuncture points, found in certain conditions as osteomuscular lesions, herpes virus and equine protozoal encephalomyelitis. The aim of this research was to verify the effect of aquapuncture in Bai Hui, Gallbladder 27, Stomach 30 and Spleen 13 as a treatment for equine syndromes, over cortisol and hemogram values after exercise in Thoroughbreds. Eighteen equine athletes were used, all trained for races of 1,100 and 2,000 m by same trainer and jockey. They were randomly divided in three groups (n=6). The horses of ConG (control) were not treated. Horses of FaG (sham) were submitted to sham aquapuncture and the ones of AcuG (aquapuncture) were treated using specific points to treat the equine syndromes, as well as, Bai Hui, Sp13, GB27 e St30. All the animals received a three week treatment. The performance was evaluated before and after treatments, by a step velocity test. The blood samples for the hematological evaluation were collected before and immediately after the exercise and cortisol values were determined at rest and 30 min after the test. The cortisol, the hematocrit and the erythrocyte count values were greater after the exercise for all groups, and hematocrit was lower in AcuG when compared to other groups at both times. There were no differences in leukocyte count, neutrophils or lymphocy
As síndromes equinas são definidas por um conjunto de pontos de acupuntura, sensíveis à palpação, encontrados em determinadas doenças como lesões osteomusculares, herpes vírus e encefalomielite protozoária equina. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito da aquapuntura realizada nos pontos Bai Hui, Vesícula Biliar 27, estômago 30 e Baço/Pâncreas 13 como tratamento das síndromes equinas, sobre os valores de cortisol e hemograma após o exercício, em cavalos puro-sangue-inglês. Foram utilizados 18 equinos atletas da raça puro-sangue-inglês, todos treinados para distâncias entre 1.100 e 2.000 m pelo mesmo treinador e jóquei. Estes foram divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos (n=6). Os cavalos do ConG (controle) não receberam tratamento. Os indivíduos do FaG (falsa) receberam tratamento falso e os animais do AcuG (aquapuntura) foram tratados em acupontos específicos para tratamento das síndromes, bem como Bai Hui, BP13, VB27 e E30. Todos os animais foram tratados durante três semanas. A performance foi avaliada antes e depois dos tratamentos, por meio de teste de velocidade escalo

ABSTRACT
The authors took a survey of foot-and-mouth disease samples of myocardium and tonsil from swine which was died without clinicals signs of foot-and-mouth disease, with isolation of virus, type O, A and C. It was observed and accentuated relation between the incidence of hog cholera, pneumonia and atipic foot-and-mouth disease, especially from suckling pigs.
