    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Bovine (cow) and equine (horse) related trauma represent a significant cause of admission.
    • Understanding injury mechanisms is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies.

    Observation:

    • Over six years, 134 patients were admitted due to bovine and equine trauma.
    • Common injury mechanisms included falls from horses (45), animal assaults (42), kicks (39), and vehicle accidents (8).
    • The Injury Severity Score (ISS) ranged from 1 to 41, with 11 patients scoring 25 or higher.

    Findings:

    • 117 operative procedures were performed by ten surgical subspecialist teams.
    • No mortality was recorded among the 134 patients admitted for these injuries.

    Implications:

    • Management should occur in a regional trauma center for optimal care.
    • Educational programs focusing on preventive measures are essential to reduce the incidence of these injuries.
