5 - Practices of Production with the Presence of Brucellosis in Goat Herds

Abstract

This study examines, through survey application and document analysis, the management strategies related with goat herds quarantined with brucellosis in 2016. Thes studied population consisted of goat and sheep breeders in Nuevo León that are located in two zones: Zone A, in the semi-desertic plateau and Zone B, in the coastal plains. The study found that introducing animals without Brucella testing (60%), the possibility of sharing grazing surface (75%), water sources (58%) or outlandish males mating the females (38%) are common practices among the owners of quarantined facilities. The product breakdown indicates that in herds in which milk and cheese are produced have a greater percentage of animals with brucellosis, 31±.24%, than those where goat kids are produced, 18±23 % (p=0.03).
