Resumo
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.
