Point 3: 

Annex II Vaccination Table since the 1stCampaign of 2001 to the 2nd 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, 1st of 2005, is still in execution.

In mid- 2000 the re-introduction of FMD 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 general 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, 11.4 

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 population 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 Health 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, which 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 when we want 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, thus increasing the global 

information.

In order that the total of the FINAL NUMBER 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:

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

1° OF 2004 56,2 millions 340.000 57,0 millions

2° OF 2004 57,0 millions 340.000 57,3 millions

This can be considered as the Annual Average Population, but due to the above 

explained, we can define a Maximum Population, which is recorded in December when 

the highest percentage of calves has been born, and a Minimum 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 first 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 well 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 dates: days when clinical symptoms and/or 

lesions in the affected animals were observed. It is reported as average in 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 dates: 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 vaccinated; 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 which 

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.
