(Universidade Brasil, 2018) Silva, Danilo Mendes Hortêncio da; Dian, Paulo Henrique Moura
Inflammatory reactions causing abscesses are due to improper use of vaccines and / or medications. Vaccine abscesses bring concerns to breeders and entrepreneurs in the meat and meat industry because of the huge economic losses caused by the rejections of the parties involved in the vaccine reaction. The objective of this study was to measure carcass losses caused by vaccine abscesses. The study was carried out between July and December 2016, in a refrigerator in the municipality of Iranduba / AM. During the study, 20,909 bovine carcasses were collected from different states of northern Brazil, including the states of Amazonas, Roraima and Pará. In order to evaluate the losses caused by vaccine lesions in bovine carcasses, the animals were collected and weighed . A total of 20,399 cattle presented vaccine abscesses, 15,678 males and 4,721 females, presenting a general percentage of 97.56% of carcasses with vaccine lesions, which generated a discard of 7,673.4 kg of muscular portions of both sexes and provenances . It is concluded that the meat masses removed from the carcasses due to the formation of abscesses due to vaccination reaction cause significant losses to the producers, proving the necessity of insertion of cattle management in northern Brazil.
