Evaluation of the Economic Losses of Events Associated With Reproductive Failure in Female Bovine Brucellosis and Dairy Farms of the Basin of Tizayuca, Hidalgo, Mexico. Rev. cient.

With the objective of determining the financial losses for events of reproductive failure caused by the bovine brucellosis, 20 Units of dairy production of Tizayuca Agricultural and Industrial Complex (CAITSA), Hidalgo, Mexico. There were distributed proportionally in the 5 control programs of the disease applied in this basin. They were used to estimate the losses for reproductive failure for brucellosis with the events that were related significantly with the brucellosis (abortions, premature births, uterine tumors, lost heats and stillborn. The highest losses for events of reproductive failure were observed had in the dairy production units attributed to the variant of the program that single vaccine and the lowest were in the UPL that eliminate immediately brucellosis reactors, independently to the of the origin of the animals and where it is segregated to the reactors to brucellosis and they are eliminated at the end of their productive life, standing out inside this variant that replacement with animals reared in the herd and it eliminates (20.26 USD) with a loss three times inferior to the variant that only vaccine (70.00 USD).
