### Campaign of 2001 to the 2 nd 

### of 2004. The table summarizes cattle and farms vaccinated by campaign and by province since the First Vaccination Period of 2001 to the Second Vaccination Period of 2004, given that the current vaccination Period, 1 st of 2005, is still in execution. In mid
- 2000 the re-introduction of F MD into the country occurs, from surrounding areas, and having found a great mass of susceptible animals with low or zero immunity levels, due to the suspension of the systematic vaccination in April, 1999, triggered an epidemic involving the main livestock provinces, and that extends until the end of the year 2001. Vaccinations carried out during the year 2000 were for strategic control, due to the emergency, applying more than 20,000,000 doses. They are not systematic vaccination campaigns, and that is why are not incorporated in the table.

### During the two vaccination campaigns of 2001 and the 1st carried out in 2002, the system

to inform at central level on the progress of the campaign by each vaccination Local Plan consisted of

g eneral Forms that each Regional Supervisor submitted, which were entered into a computer program in the Epidemiology Office. This procedure did not report vaccinated farms. Since the 2 nd 

### Campaign of 2002, the "Vaccination Campaigns Follow
-up System", currently in use , is implemented, that collects information about the campaign progress in bi
-weekly Forms which are forwarded from the various Local SENASA Offices, and are entered in the corresponding area of the Epidemiology Directorate

. **National cattle population**  The national cattle herd is subject to a significant population dynamics, related to marketing characteristics of animals for slaughter, to the reproductive methodology applied and the mortality produced in herds for various reasons. This concept comes from analyzing the following:

 Approximately an average of one (1) million cattle are monthly sold, uniformly distributed throughout the year, totaling 12.4 million in 2000, 11.5 million in 2001, 1 1.4 million in 2002, 12.5 million in 2003 and 14.2 million in 2004 (Source: National Agricultural Trade Control Office

- ONCCA).

 From July to December, between 13 and 14 million calves are born, which are incorporated to the national cattle population

.

 In regard to mortality recorded in the herds by different etiologies, we can quantify it, on average, in 1 million heads annually, with a seasonal peak during the winter months, i.e. during the second half of the year. To quantify the national cattle popu lation we must accurately determine the bovine population of

each farm. This data comes from the work carried out during the vaccination campaigns, using the VACCINATION REPORTS prepared by official vaccinators as basic source to collect this information, after the count has been carried out in each farm
. We consider this information as reliable due to the following factors :

 Vaccination is carried out by AUTHORIZED staff, CONTROLLED AND AUDITED by SENASA and dependent of Local H ealth Offices

.

 According to the legislation in force, these staff is obliged to vaccinate all of the cattle population of each farm

.

 Vaccination action involves locking, vaccinating and counting cattle, AT A GIVEN TIME, the entire bovine population of the farm.

 Vaccinators charge by vaccinated animal, wh ich means that they will make the maximum effort to vaccinate the entire population.

###  The commitment made by the producers in the program , makes them controllers for

their neighbors. It is important to point out that the information coming from the vaccination campaign is not cross-sectional, but longitudinal, i.e. that it is collected during the 6 months involving the campaign, since in each region the vaccination schedule is prepared according to the geographical, epidemiological and productive characteristics with the objective to achieve a higher and constant immunity throughout the year. Taking into account the above and considering that during the vaccination periods the movement dynamics of cattle population continues existing , to give the number of animals vaccinated in a campaign the character of national cattle population , we get a bias. This occurs because wh en wewant to generalize an entire region, province or country, totaling all the cattle vaccinated in each farm , the information loses accuracy, because cattle vaccinated at the start of the campaign in breeding zones, can again be revaccinated in the over-wintering destination farms , th us increasing the global information

. In order that the total of the FINAL NUM BER OF CATTLE VACCINATED in the campaign reflects the Argentine bovine population, it should be adjusted according to the following variable:

 Approximately 6 million cattle are annually moved by semester (vaccination period) for over-wintering (IEM

- Monthly Statistical Report
- DNSA

-SENASA data).

 As a result that the animals of the breeding zone are vaccinated before being moved to the over-wintering areas and since vaccination periods in these zones are not simultaneous, a number of them estimated at 30% (2 million cattle) will be revaccinated again in this destination zone.

 When deducting this number of cattle vaccinated twice, the number that results from the cattle vaccinated during the period, allows us to estimate the number of the cattle population of the area with systematic vaccination:

In summary, after the calculation, the following results were obtained:
**PERIOD No. OF VA** **CCINA TED**  **CA TTLE**  **LESS A DJUSTMENT**  **FIGURE CA**  **TTLE IN A REA** 

**WITH VA** **CCIN AT** **ION** 2° OF2002 57.722.736 2 millions 55,7 millions 1° OF 2003 57.282.541 2 millions 55,2 millions 2° OF 2003 59.201.786 2 millions 57,2 millions 1° OF2004 58.257.168 2 millions 56,2 millions 2° OF 2004 59.011.856 2 millions 57,0 millions


### If to this the resulting population , we add the number of cattle in the areas without FMD vaccination of the provinces of Neuquén and Río Negro, and the stock of the provinces of Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego, it allows us to estimate the NATIONAL CATTLE POPULATION :**PERIOD BOVINES IN A** **REA WITH**  **VA CCIN** **AT IO**  **N BOVINES IN A** **REA WITHOUT**  **VA CCIN** **AT ION**  **NA TIONA** **L POPUL** **AT ION**  **AVERA GE**  2° OF 2002 55,7 millions 340.000 **56,0 millions** 1° OF 2003 55,2 millions 340.000 **55,5 millions** 2° OF 2003 57,2 millions 340.000 **57,5 millions** 1° OF 2004 56,2 millions 340.000 **57,0 mil lions**  2° OF 2004 57,0 millions 340.000 **57,3 millions**


### This can be considered as the **An nual**  **Av erage**  **Population** , but due to the above explained, we can define a **M aximum**  **Population** , which is recorded in December when the highest percentage of calves has been born, and a **M inimum**  **Population** in June, when the national cattle herd , since the early months of the year is submitted to a monthly exit average of 1 million cattle for slaughter, without incorporations by birth. The explanation of variation of the cattle population between the fi rst and second Vaccination Period, is as follows:

 The second half of the year, the date on which the Second Vaccination Period is implemented, coincides with the cow calving period, **calved with**  **calf at**  **foot** resulting in an increase of the cattle population to be vaccinated.

 Influences also to accentuate the difference, the increase for slaughter, especially of fat calves born at the beginning of the birth season that occurs during December, January, February and March consequently decreasing the population to be vaccinated in the first Period of the year.

Point 4: Annex III Tables Outbreaks period 2000 to 2003. Stratification.

The information regarding FMD outbreaks contains those occurred since the year 2000 until 2003, year when the last outbreak occurred in the country. As it was timely reported , the last FMD epidemic in Argentina started mid
-2000, but the occurrence was officially notified in March 2001. Although foci were attended according to the procedure manuals, records of cases that occurred until March 2001 are not complete , mainly in regard to the information of the progress of each case (date of last sick animal and closing date)

. Therefore , for the information regarding the progress of the disease in each farm, outbreaks that occurred from March 2001 (2,128 foci, of a total of 2564 occurred between the years 2000 and 2003) were taken into account

. **Data requested and response provided:** 1. **Total number**  **of infected**  **herds** : the data supplied is the number of foci (affected establishments) by province and size of the herd, of the years with occurrence (2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003).

### 2. **Number of**  **infected cattle**  : the number of sick animals (cattle) (with symptoms) in the outbreaks is reported, as we ll as the existence of cattle of the affected farm , of the years with occurrence (2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003). The total cattle existence of the establishment can be considered as "exposed" animals, although in the cases of large extension affected farms , not all animal lots were exposed to the infection source. 3. **Part of**  **the year**  **when the**  **infected herd**  **had infected**  **animals** : according to the data contained in our records, in order to estimate the infection time , the information provided considers the following parameters:
a. Attention date: is the date when the official veterinarian visits the farm after receiving the denouncement

. b. Starting date: is the probable date of the disease onset, according to the age of lesions and/or conclusions of the anamnesis.
c
. Date of

the last sick animal: is the date when the recovery of the last animal affected in the farm was confirmed. For the administrative closure of the focus this date was taken as a parameter, given that the lifting of the restrictions started 30 days after this closure

.
As described above this information corresponds to outbreaks that occurred since March 2001. Hence, with these data the following intervals are reported: 1

. Between **first and**  **last sick**  **animal date** **s** : days when clinical symptoms and/or lesions in the affected animals were observed. It is reported as average i n days for each stratum (province, size of herd , with or without vaccination, etc). In the Table: "Average in Days (

Last
-Initial

)". 2. Between **first and**  **attention date** **s** : number of days from the start of symptoms until the farm is visited by the official veterinarian. In the table: "Average in days (Last

-Initial)". **Vaccination Effect** **:** In order to differentiate the outbreaks in vaccinated farms from those in farms that had not been vacci nated; the information is presented in separated tables for each case. Those cases in which the disease occurred before the animals had been vaccinated or in wh ich the vaccine was applied with an anticipation less than 40 days from the date of attention are included in the cases without vaccination , considering in these cases that the animals had not yet acquired immunity. On the other hand , the outbreaks included in the vaccinated group are those in which vaccine was applied with an anticipation of more than 40 days, thereby the animals had some level of protection at the time when they got sick
