Abstract

The mandatory curricular internship was carried out from August 15 to October 27, 2022, supervised by the Veterinary Doctor Guaraci Reis de Lima and guided by Prof. in the commercial area, totaling 390 hours.During this period, technical visits were made to agricultural stores and rural properties in order to generate demand for products with the insertion of sanitary and reproductive protocols, in addition to assisting in training.The subject of interest in this work is the importance of preventive management against respiratory diseases in semi-confined cattle. It is one of the most significant causes of mortality in animals in a confinement system, due to the fact that cattle have a greater predisposition to respiratory diseases and combined with the predisposing factor found in this type of system.Preventive management was carried out on one property using a vaccine against respiratory diseases containing the most prevalent microorganisms, associated, when necessary, with antibiotics to treat symptomatic animals.In addition, there was an indication of wetting the place where the animals were installed as a way to reduce the appearance of dust in the place, one of the predisposing factors for the appearance of the disease. After this sanitary management, an improvement was observed in the animals that showed clinical signs, and a reduction of dust in the area, favoring the success of the management.
