Abstract

ABSTRACT: Through analysis of records of animals slaughtered and disposed of the municipal abattoir Imperatriz-MA we studied data from 39,955 animals slaughtered for consumption, and it was found that0.03% of the animals were discarded and the carcass incinerated due to contamination by Brucella abortus etiologic agent of brucellosis, one of the most serious zoonotic disease found in the country. The result was satisfactory thus demonstrating the effective control program against brucellosis carried out in the region.   KEY-WORDS: analysis, control, disposed, zoonosis.
