Abstract

Survey of the types of vaccines used in cattle and horses treated at the UFCG Veterinary Hospital. The aim of this study is to know the vaccination schedule for cattle and horses in semi-arid Paraiba and make general considerations about the diseases that are preventable by vaccination in the region. We conducted a retrospective study of medical records of cattle and horses treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the city of Patos-PB in the period from 2005 to 2010. 4282 records were analyzed in which 2112 animals were vaccinated, and of those, 1050 were cattle and 1062 horses. For viral infections were vaccinated 1328 animals, 341 animals and 214 animals for clostridial diseases of reproduction. Disease prevention by vaccination is necessary to minimize economic losses, the high degree of mortality, treatment costs and charges imposed by commercial beef importing countries.
