Resumo
Na reprodução equina, a falha gestacional acontece com alguma frequência causando uma grande perda económica e genética para a indústria equina. Como tal, a busca por outras terapias além da convencional tem vindo a aumentar, destacando o uso da ozonoterapia. Esta, é uma medicina integrativa de baixo custo que tem vindo a demonstrar benefícios terapêuticos desde a Primeira Guerra Mundial até aos dias de hoje.
Atualmente, existe literatura que afirma que o uso de lavagens intrauterinas com ozono tem sido uma opção muito benéfica para o tratamento de patologias reprodutivas tanto em mulheres como nos animais.
Com o presente estudo, pretendeu-se avaliar os efeitos da lavagem uterina com solução fisiológica NaCl 0,9% ozonizada sobre as características citológicas e cultura microbiológica do líquido uterino em éguas com mais de 15 anos. Para tal, fez-se a administração de solução fisiológica NaCL 0,9% ozonizada na concentração de 52 μg de O3/mL de oxigénio via uterina, recolhendo posteriormente o líquido administrado por gravidade, observando assim as características citológicas e os microorganismos presentes na cultura microbiológica.
Segundo os resultados obtidos, observou-se um aumento momentâneo da inflamação durante o tratamento com ozono na maioria das éguas, porém, duas semanas após o tratamento, houve uma melhoria no grau de inflamação bem como na diminuição de agentes microbianos na cultura microbiológica.
Desta forma, conclui-se que a ozonoterapia tem um efeito terapêutico benéfico na redução do quadro de inflamação uterina, bem como no controlo de agentes microbianos, minimizando possíveis resistências bacterianas, adotando assim um papel importante no que toca à melhoria dos índices reprodutivos.

This is a low-cost integrative medicine that has been demonstrating therapeutic benefits from the First World War to the present day. Currently, there is literature that states that the use of intrauterine washes with ozone has been a very beneficial option for the treatment of reproductive pathologies in both women and animals. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of uterine lavage with ozonized saline solution on the cytological characteristics and microbiological culture of the uterine fluid in mares over 15 years old. To this end, 0.9% ozonated NaCL saline solution was administered at a concentration of 52 μg of O3/mL of oxygen via the uterine route, subsequently collecting the administered liquid by gravity, thus observing the cytological characteristics and microorganisms present in the culture. microbiological. According to the results obtained, there was a momentary increase in inflammation during ozone treatment in most mares, however, two weeks after treatment, there was an improvement in the degree of inflammation as well as a decrease in microbial agents in the microbiological culture. In this way, it is concluded that ozone therapy has a beneficial therapeutic effect in reducing uterine inflammation, as well as in controlling microbial agents, minimizing possible bacterial resistance, thus adopting a significant role in terms of improving reproductive indices.
