Causas e condenação de carcaças e vísceras bovinas em abatedouro sob serviço de inspeção municipal de Campina Grande – Paraíba

Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of the main causes of condemnation of carcasses and organs of cattle slaughtered in the abatedouro in the municipality of Campina Grande and the social impacts caused by products of animal origin without the proper sanitary inspection. Animal slaughter and condemnation data refer to the period from April 1, 2013 to December 2022 and were obtained through the practice of sanitary inspection and the Management Information System of the Municipal Inspection Service and the establishment of animal slaughter. Condemnation prevalence was calculated per 100,000 inspected cattle. The main causes of total condemnation of carcasses were lesions suggestive of bovine miliary tuberculosis with 25 cases, but partial condemnations were 35,088 due to postvaccination abscesses that were obtained in a total of 109,244 animals inspected. In a total of 10,452 condemned organs, there was a trend towards a decrease in condemnations between 2016 and 2018. As for carcasses, lesions suggestive of post-vaccination abscesses and suspected tuberculosis were the main causes of condemnations with prevalence (p*=0.35008, %=35.008 / 35,008) and (p*=0.0002288, %=0.022 / 25), but regarding the incidence, in the period 2021/22 they had the values i*= 0.20 and i* 0.000133, respectively. Among the most affected organs, the first was the liver, due to abscesses and teleangiectasia (p*=0.00645, %=6.68 / 7,304), the second was the lung, due to abscesses and atelectasis (p*=0, 01903, %=1.74 / 1903), the third was head and tongue due to abscesses (p*=0.00645, %=0.59 / 645), the fourth was kidneys due to hydronephrosis and cysts (p*=0, 00373, %=0.34 / 373), and in fifth place was the heart, due to cysticerci and infarcts (p*=0.00227, %=0.20 / 227). The bovine herd slaughtered under the SIM of Campina Grande showed no prevalence of convictions for suspected brucellosis. Lesions suggestive of tuberculosis were the causes of total and partial condemnation of carcasses that brought greater economi close.
