Resumo

Este estudo determinou se a adição de um agente homeopático imunológico (Imunorgan®) à dieta de bezerros durante os primeiros meses de vida melhora as reações imunológicas, respostas antioxidantes, metabolismo e crescimento. Os 12 bezerros com 36±4 kg de média e 30 dias de vida, foram divididos em grupo controle (n=6) e tratamento (n=6) que receberam o produto homeopático no leite durante os primeiros 30 dias e posteriormente no concentrado (fornecendo 10 g/dia do homeopático imunológico, baseado em Arsenicum album, Baptisia tinctoria, Calcarea carbonica, Iodum purum, Medicago sativa, Mercurius solubilis, Nux vomica, Pyrogenium e veículo de sacarose). Os animais do grupo tratamento tiveram ganho de peso corporal mais significativo de 1 a 30 dias do experimento (p≤0,05). Houve efeito do tratamento nos resultados hematológicos, com concentração de hemoglobina mostrando maior interação tratamento x dia no dia 90 (p≤0,05). As contagens de leucócitos, neutrófilos e linfócitos foram maiores no grupo de tratamento (p≤0,05). A concentração de albumina nos animais do grupo tratamento foi menor do que no grupo controle (p≤0,05). A concentração de globulina foi maior no grupo de tratamento (p≤0,05). Houve interação tratamento x dia para a concentração de tióis proteicos nos dias 30, 60 e 90, com níveis séricos mais elevados nos bezerros do grupo tratamento (p≤0,05). Os níveis séricos de espécies reativas de oxigênio foram menores nos bezerros do grupo de tratamento (p≤0,05). Os animais do grupo tratado apresentaram maior concentração de IgA. Durante o experimento, os níveis de ceruplasmina, haptoglobina, transferrina, glicoproteína ácida e IgG de cadeia leve também mudaram (interação tratamento x dia). Esses achados sugerem que o produto homeopático estimulou respostas imunológicas.
