This study aimed to identify and quantify the main diseases of compulsory notification to the Official Veterinary Service (SVO) in the state of Paraiba in the period between 2010 and 2019. The study was prepared from data collection with the state's SVO. The data collected when compared to the literature showed a low percentage of notifications compared to the number of herds; this percentage was less than 1% considering the extension of herds observed in comparison with the notifications for the period. Among the diseases notified, five main diseases stood out, Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a lethal disease, without prophylactic treatment and with a high percentage of occurrence, accounting for 317 notifications in the period, in second place was glanders with 79 notifications. , followed by rabies with 77 notifications, brucellosis with 34 cases ,and tuberculosis with 33. These data were also analyzed and subdivided into three periods of years: between 2010-2012, between 2013-2015 and between 2016-2019. In the period, between 2010-2012, the disease with the highest occurrence was rabies, with percentage averages of 70%, followed by glanders, with a percentage of 57%; in the subsequent periods, 2013-2015, and 2016-2019, the increasing percentages from 64% to 70% of notifications point first to the IEA. However, these data do not express the reality, due to the high cost of the identification and diagnosis process and also the underreporting of cases. The importance of identifying and quantifying compulsory notification diseases is related to the possibility of infection in humans, which can lead to social losses, such as the loss of workforce, and economic losses, such as the loss of the infected herd in the case of farm animals. cut and milk, as well as loss of competition animals. In this sense, given the data observed, it is recommended that awareness actions be developed around the benefit of the compulsory notification procedure, and that technical guideline are established and strengthened, contributing to the rapid diagnosis of disease outbreaks and the development of actions for minimization and epidemiological control.
