Resumo: | Aiming to study the relationship of body condition score (BCS) with thickness measurements of fat and muscle in three distinct breeds, 31 animals were distributed according to race: 14 Thoroughbred (PSI) with a mean age of 3.5 years and mean weight of 462.70 kg, 7 Quarter Horse (QM) with mean age 2.5 years and mean weight of 510.40 kg, and 10 purebred Arabian (PSA) with a mean age of 3.5 years and mean weight of 357.50 kg. The animals were evaluated by ultrasound in three regions parallel to the spine, where they were measured for thickness of backfat, thickness of gluteus muscle and fat thickness at the base of the tail. The ultrasound measurements were performed every 30 days (D0, D30 and D60) for 60 days. The results showed different responses between races, although there was a higher correlation score with body fat thickness at the base of the tail. The ultrasound evaluation showed to be a reliable tool for assessment of BCS in sport horse breeds. |

Os animais foram avaliados através de ultrassonografia em três regiões paralelas à coluna vertebral, onde foram mensuradas: espessura da gordura lombar, espessura do músculo glúteo e espessura da gordura na base da cauda. Foram realizadas três mensurações ultrassonográficas a cada 30 dias (D0, D30 e D60), durante 60 dias. Os resultados indicaram comportamento diferente entre as raças, porém foi observada maior correlação do escore corporal com a espessura de gordura na base da cauda. A avaliação ultrassonográfica pode ser uma metodologia utilizada como ferramenta de avaliação de ECC de raças de cavalos de esporte.Universidade de São Paulo.
