Epydemiologic study of estereotypies in military horses

Seventy two horses, forty three geldings and twenty nine no pregnant females, from five to seventeen years old were inspectioned. It has been observed the type and regularity of stereotypies, diet and stalls where the equines were stayed. The stereotypies more observed were coprophagy (80%) followed by trough, walls and chains licking (23,6%). Six equines did repetitive vertical head movement (8,3%), three had wood and chain cribbing (4,2%) and two did aerophagy (2,8%). The coprophagy was observed more frequently during the night, at time that the horses didn’t eat forrage (during forteen to sixteen hours) and the stalls weren’t clean. The trough and chains licking ocurred during the day, between meals. According to the findings, the equine stereotypies are variable and were founded many importants predisposed factors.Para estudar a prevalência de estereotipias em eqüinos de cavalaria, foram inspecionados 72 animais, sendo 43 machos castrados e 29 fêmeas não gestantes, com idade entre 5,5 e 17 anos. Foram observados o tipo e a repetibilidade das estereotipias, a dieta e as instalações. As estereotipias mais observadas foram a coprofagia (80%) e a lambedura de cochos, paredes e correntes (23,6%). Seis eqüinos (8,3%) manifestavam movimentos verticais repetitivos de cabeça, três mordiam corrente ou madeira (4,2%) e dois eqüinos realizavam aerofagia (2,8%). A coprofagia foi observada com freqüência maior durante a noite, correspondendo ao intervalo de tempo maior entre as ofertas de volumoso, ou seja, de 14 a 16 horas, e também com os horários em que as fezes não eram recolhidas das baias. A lambedura de cochos e correntes ocorria prevalentemente durante o dia, entre os intervalos das refeições. Entre as condições de manejo e regime alimentar, foram identificados fatores de risco importantes. Concluiu-se que as estereotipias em eqüinos de cavalaria são diversas e freqüentes

The COVID-19 pandemic, emergency aid and social work in Brazil.

This essay reflects on the implementation of federal government emergency aid in Brazil in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting elements from the work of Social Workers in the context of growing demand for the supply of material provisions. Economic and social conditions in Brazil have particularities that impact the operationalisation of this benefit, which is aimed at the poor, that add complexity and impose limits. When considering the structural limits set, this context imposes challenges on the work of Social Workers. The need to reconnect and enhance the struggle for social rights is emphasised through the different strategies of the working class
