Ethological and physiological parameters in the thoroughbred newborn foal

Three hundred and ninety deliveries of Thoroughbred mares were observed between July, 1983 and November, 1992, with the aim of determining physiologic parameters regarding the foal. The average time for the umbilical cord rupture was 6,2 minutes. The suckling reflex was observed 36 minutes after del...

Description
Summary:Three hundred and ninety deliveries of Thoroughbred mares were observed between July, 1983 and November, 1992, with the aim of determining physiologic parameters regarding the foal. The average time for the umbilical cord rupture was 6,2 minutes. The suckling reflex was observed 36 minutes after delivery. Mean time for standing was 49 minutes, and the ones which stood within 2:23 hours didn't have adaptation problems. Mean time for the first suckling was 94 minutes, and 82,55% did it within 2 hours after birth. Elimination of meconium occurred at 127.4 minutes after delivery, 30 minutes after first suckling. Foram observados trezentos e noventa partos em éguas da raça Puro-Sangue de Corrida entre julho de 1983 e novembro de 1992, com a finalidade de se determinar os parâmetros fisiológicos e etológicos relativos ao neonato, Verificou-se que a ruptura do cordão umbilical ocorreu em torno dos 6,2 minutos após o nascimento. O reflexo de sucção manifestou-se em média aos 36 minutos e os potrinhos levantaram pela primeira vez aos 49 minutos. Aqueles que levantaram até 2 horas e 23 minutos após o parto não apresentaram problemas. A 1ª mamada ocorreu em média aos 94 minutos pós-parto e 82,55% dos potros mamaram até 2 horas pós-parto. A eliminação do mecônio ocorreu em 127,4 minutos pós-parto, em média 30 minutos após a 1ª mamada.
