ESTRATÉGIAS DE PREVENÇÃO E CONTROLE DE BOVINOS DE CORTE: VACINAÇÃO, MANEJO SANITÁRIO E BIOSSEGURANÇA

Abstract

Beef cattle farming is very important to Brazil's economy, placing the country among the world's largest producers and exporters of beef. However, this production faces problems with infectious, parasitic, and nutritional diseases that affect both productivity and animal welfare. The goal of this study is to review the main strategies for preventing and controlling diseases in beef cattle, focusing on vaccination, sanitary management, and biosecurity. Scientific publications from 2000 to 2025 were analyzed. The results show that continuous vaccination, combined with good management practices and biosecurity, is fundamental to herd health. These measures reduce economic losses, increase productivity, and ensure meat quality. Thus, the combination of immunization and sanitary management is vital for the sustainability of livestock farming in Brazil.
