“…In a comparison between the Cerrado and the Amazon, the Cerrado, which is a biome with an intense economic activity in Mato Grosso, has the smaller area and number of premises, but a higher number of slaughterhouses 2012and Felipe et al (2013) analyzed the cattle movement for slaughter and identified the slaughter poles. As mentioned by Silva Júnior et al (2017), in the cattle movement of Mato Grosso, Negreiros (2010) observed that slaughterhouses were important hubs of the cattle trade network, followed by markets and big farms. Beef production for national and international consumer markets is an important economic activity in Mato Grosso (Silva Júnior et al 2017).…”

“…Of the 15,965,825 bovines moved within the state, 6,944,103 (43.5%), 5,031,387 (31.5%), and 3,623,514 (22.7%) were moved for fattening, slaughter, and reproduction, respectively. In the state of Pernambuco, most cattle movement (91.3%) was also intrastate (Silva Júnior et al 2017).…”

“…On the other hand, the Amazon has the larger area and number of premises, but a lower number of slaughterhouses and animals moved. The cover extent of Amazon forest(Morton et al 2011) could partially explain the lower volume of animal trade in comparison to the Cerrado.Other cattle movement studies were performed in the Brazilian states of Pernambuco(Silva Júnior et al 2017), Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul(Capanema et al 2012), and Paraná and Santa Catarina(Felipe et al 2013).Capanema et al…”

The analysis of animal movement patterns may help identify farm premises with a potentially high risk of infectious disease introduction. Farm herd sizes and bovine movement data from 2007 in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, were analyzed. There are three different biomes in Mato Grosso: the Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal. The analysis of the animal trade between and within biomes would enable characterization of the connections between the biomes and the intensity of the internal trade within each biome. We conducted the following analyses: 1) the concentration of cattle on farm premises in the state and in each biome, 2) the number and relative frequency of cattle moved between biomes, and 3) the most frequent purposes for cattle movements. Twenty percent (20%) of the farm premises had 81.15% of the herd population. Those premises may be important not only for the spread of infectious diseases, but also for the implementation of surveillance and control strategies. Most of the cattle movement was intrastate (97.1%), and internal movements within each biome were predominant (88.6%). A high percentage of movement from the Pantanal was to the Cerrado (48.6%), the biome that received the most cattle for slaughter, fattening and reproduction (62.4%, 56.8%, and 49.1% of all movements for slaughter, fattening, and reproduction, respectively). The primary purposes for cattle trade were fattening (43.5%), slaughter (31.5%), and reproduction (22.7%). Presumably, movements for slaughter has a low risk of disease spread. In contrast, movements for fattening and reproduction purposes (66.2% of all movements) may contribute to an increased risk of the spread of infectious diseases.

We characterized the network of cattle movements in Mato Grosso, Brazil—a state responsible for a significant amount of Brazilian beef exports. In this analysis, we were particularly interested in the importance of slaughterhouses in the network of cattle movements, in the characteristics of the trade for different purposes (especially for reproduction, fattening, and slaughter), and about the importance of the main traders. We found that the median distance of all movements was 79.0 km, with an interquartile range between 37.2 and 163.2 km, which suggests a relatively short-range trade pattern; roughly 20% of the premises purchasing more animals were responsible for 95% of the animals purchased and 20% of the premises selling more animals were responsible for 86% of the animals sold, indicating the importance of the cattle trade hubs. Fitting the degree distribution using a power-law distribution, we obtained a scaling parameter of 2.59, indicating that the cattle movement network of Mato Grosso is less dense than other observed cattle movement networks. The networks for fattening, reproduction, and slaughtering only comprised 73%, 56%, and 25% of all nodes and 52%, 30%, and 17% of all edges, respectively; and slaughterhouses had the highest in-degrees and total degrees, followed by markets and farms, playing the role of main cattle trade hubs. Therefore, slaughterhouses are potentially useful as surveillance points to detect cases, and controlling important trader premises may optimize the use of resources for controlling diseases.
