The genus Mycobacterium sp. causes tuberculosis in humans and domestic animals, including pathogenic species, the most common and important Mycobacterium tuberculosis which infects only humans and can accidentally infect the cattle, causing no major changes in the latter host, and Mycobacterium bovis, which infects cattle It can also occasionally infect humans through milk and meat 'in natura' infected with the bacillus. Ensure the public health is one of the most important of the veterinarian, who routinely decide on the allocation of a housing as well as byproducts, always seeking the safety and health to public health. It is therefore of paramount importance to a review on tuberculosis.

RESUMO Estudo epidemiológico tipo caso-controle realizado em Uberlândia, Minas Gerais (MG),

ResumoEste estudo objetivou identificar as principais causas de condenações de perus abatidos sob Serviço de Inspeção Federal, além de verificar as estações do ano em que as condenações são mais frequentes. Dentre o número total de condenações post-mortem, 99,06% foi devido a condenações parciais e 0,94% devido a condenações totais. As causas de condenação parcial mais frequentes foram devido à aerossaculite (41,24%), seguida de contaminação biliar (23,73%). As causas de condenação total mais frequentes foram em função de aspecto repugnante (51,62%) e dermatose (22,71%). A estação do ano que apresentou maior frequência de condenações tanto totais quanto parciais foi a primavera. Verificou-se que na mesorregião analisada, as condenações encontradas foram em sua maioria, em função de causas infecciosas, sugerindo uma melhoria no manejo sanitário dos animais durante a criação, sobretudo na primavera.Palavras-chave: Abate, condenações, peru, SIF. AbstractThis study aimed to identify the main reasons of condemnation of turkeys slaughtered under Federal Inspection Service and to verifying the seasons of the year in which condemnations are more frequent. For the analysis, were used the data from one Federal Inspection Service of a poultry slaughter plant located at the "Triângulo Mineiro" and "Alto Paranaíba" region, "Minas Gerais", during the period from august 2008 to july 2009. Were inspected 8,153,866 turkeys from 19 cities located in this mesoregion. Of these, 1,767,503 (21.68%) had some type of post-mortem condemnation. The main causes of condemnation (partial and total) were grouped by month and season, in order to determine what were the condemnations of greater and lesser frequency in turkeys slaughtered during the period analyzed. 1,750,863 (21.47%) turkeys were partial condemned and 16,640 (0.21%) were totally condemned. Among the total number of condemnations post-mortem, 99.06% was due to partial condemnations and 0.94% was due to total condemnations. The causes of partial condemnations more frequent were aerial sacs infection (41.24%) followed by bile contamination (23.73). The causes of total condemnation were all more frequent due to repugnant aspect (51.62%) and dermatosis (22.71%). The season with the highest frequency of both total and partial condemnations was the spring. It was found that in the analyzed region, the condemnations were found mostly due to infectious causes, suggesting an improvement in the sanitary handling of animals during the creation, especially in the spring.

A tuberculose bovina é uma doença que apresenta significativos reflexos econômicos, bem como aqueles que afetam diretamente ou indiretamente a saúde pública. Muitos animais infectados pelo agente causador da referida doença são abatidos diariamente, causando uma situação preocupante, pois como é sabido, o diagnóstico da doença no âmbito de matadouro frigorífico, se restringe prioritariamente ao diagnóstico macroscópico das lesões suspeitas, o que eventualmente pode levar a um diagnóstico equivocado. Assim, o veterinário, não raro se vê em uma situação difícil, quando na identificação da lesão na sala de abate. A partir disso, coletaram-se em um frigorífico da região de Uberlândia, 42 amostras de carcaças desviadas ao DIF (Departamento de SILVA, M.C., MOURA, M.S. e REIS, D.O. A importância da histopatologia para a inspeção federal na confirmação de lesões pulmonares suspeitas de tuberculose em bovinos abatidos.

The improvement in the production of domestic cattle led Brazil in recent years become the main exporter of meat on the planet. The Brazilian legislation is the subject of abscesses with rigor. The abscesses are circumscribed purulent inflammation, delineated by the formation of fibrous connective tissue capsule, caused by bacteria. The objective is to survey the number of slaughtered cattle with abscesses in the states of Goias, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and São Paulo subject to the control of the Federal Inspection Service in the period 2006 to 2009, municipalities and state of origin animal with the highest number of cases of the disease. Through the post-mortem examination was made at the macroscopic view of the findings. We conclude that a total of 1,020,735 animals slaughtered, 1630 presented some findings of abscess, which represents 0, 159%.
