Abstract

In an environment of real competition and great competition during the national championship held in the city of Avaré-S.P. in July 2016, radiographic images of the cervical spine were obtained from 56 male and female bovine animals, with a mean weight of 250 kg. The images were obtained before and after the event, using a digital device with the animals contained in stocks and in quadrupedal position. The evaluated criteria were: malformation, fracture, luxation and alteration of vertebra position. The images were studied by 2 separate evaluators and both did not find lesions before or after the event in the group of animals studied. This result allows us to conclude that, under the conditions of this experiment, there was no alteration in the cervical spine of the cattle caused by the lacing of these animals.
