Resumo:
This work was conducted in the Prata and Passagem cities, located in the Cariri and Sertão
Médio microrregion, in semiarid of Paraíba. The objectives were to check the occurrence of
antimicrobials remainders in the milk of goats in nature; as well as the possible reasons why
the presence of such waste; track the major diseases in livestock and leading the use of
antimicrobials; addition to describe the therapy adopted in the treatment of diseases and adopt
the occurrence of waste as an indicator of practice management of health of the herds. For
that, it was collected 240 samples of milk from 34 producers of these cities, in two periods in
the year of 2007, in the rainy and in the dried times. There were identified 14,16% of milk
samples with antimicrobials waste through the qualitative test, Delvotest SP. The second phase
of the year, the dried one, showed a greater incidence of waste that the first, 24,16% and
4,16% respectively. Then it continued with the study of these investigative positive samples,
through visits to the properties and interview of the producers, guided by questionnaire, which
identified, several flaws in the use of antimicrobials, management of the animals in treatment
and fate of the milk of these animals. Moreover, was identified, according to the knowledge of
producers, clinical and epidemiological data, clinical mastitis in 100% of cases where it is
used antimicrobials, this was caused by an outbreak of Contagious Agalactia characteristic of
Sheep and Goats (60%), 30% caused by trauma in the mammary gland and 10% caused by
unknown agents. In the treatment of these diseases were used various antimicrobial therapy
and homeopath, which in turn, has proved most effective in treating animals with clinical signs
suggestive of contagious agalactia. In interviews were also identified the most frequent
diseases in herd: 49% mastitis, 17% conjunctivitis, 11% caseous lymphadenitis, 9% arthritis,
9% ectima contagious and 5% clostridiose. The presence of antimicrobials remainders in the
milk of goat and the prevalence of diseases in herd are benefited by the deficiency of
knowledge, adoption of deficit management practices and / or lack of preventive control
measures.
