Abstract

The growth of the vaquejada practice in the municipal district of Mossoró requests an appropriate sanitary handling seeking to the prevention of diseases in the horse breeding farms and in the parks. In that way, this work aimed to evaluate the quality of the accomplished sanitary handling and the notification about the sanitary interstate inspection and in vaquejada parks of the municipal district. The data were obtained through an epidemic inquiry by doing a questionnaire to 40 proprietors and employees responsible for the animals, through which was possible to observe that the sanitary handling of that species is quite deficient. Such fact is worsened by the flaw interstate inspection and for the absence of sanitary control in the places of the events. Keywords: Sanitary handling, equine, infectious illnesses.
