Descripción de la frecuencia cardiaca, frecuencia respiratoria y parámetros hematológicos en caballos criollos colombianos entrenados con natación en piscina.

Abstract

The research work was carried out in the Villa María Criadero located in the village of El Palmar Villa del Rosario Norte de Santander. The specimens were chosen at random in their own "trocha and gallop" walk. Seven horses between 36 and 60 months of age were chosen. The 7 specimens were developed an observatory-type medical check-up where one could observe if any specimen presented physical problems when walking and also respiratory problems. After the observatory medical check-up, all the specimens were bathed due to the high temperatures. Each specimen was measured for Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (FR), Temperature (T °) and Blood pH Pre -exercise. After the first sampling, each specimen was entered into the pool where they were made 3 turns to the right and 3 turns to the left for a total of 6 laps per copy. Then, each copy was made measuring the heart rate (F.C), respiration rate (F.R), temperature (T °) and blood pH immediately leave the pool. Afterwards, the animals underwent a bath to remove the particular chlorine to avoid any inconvenience in their skin and then they were taken to their respective stables, where they were re-measured Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (FR) , Temperature (T °) and blood pH immediately leave the pool in a period of 15 to 20 minutes Post-exercise. All the specimens that were used for this research already have a specific routine as described above and they already have a long and continuous process. The temperature (T °) of the water oscillated between 20 and 23 degrees Centigrade. The Villa María hatchery pool has specific measures agreed by Fedequinas which are: Diameter 6.50Mts, Depth 4Mts, Length 17Mts
