For evaluations, secondary data on government and institutional sites, primary data through interviews with producers, cold slaughterhouse owner, community leaders and experts from public entities were used. In second phase, primary data through spreadsheets slaughtering records and convictions of carcasses and viscera were evaluated, from March 2010 to October 2014 and found that bovine tuberculosis was one of the highest conviction pathologies (2.98%) and generating greater economic loss (71.48%). Given these results, we sought confirmation by histopathological analysis and polymerase chain reaction - PCR in order to characterize the lesions and identify the presence of Mycobacterium bovis. The histopathology showed that only 1.96% of the samples corresponded to the inflammatory process characteristic of tuberculosis and 4.25% with amplification profile for the species of M. bovis. The results of this study allow us to conclude that there is need to use complementary methods to improve diagnostic of bovine tuberculosis in slaughterhouses to increase the epidemiological disease control, streamline the inspection service and reduce economic losses generated, which will make the strongest production chain.Acesso AbertoBovinocultura de corteInspeção de alimentosTuberculose em animaisReação em cadeia da polimeraseCadeia produtivaPecuária de corteAbatedourosTailândia - PADissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::MEDICINA VETERINARIA::INSPECAO DE PRODUTOS DE ORIGEM ANIMALCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::CIENCIA E TECNOLOGIA DE ALIMENTOS::CIENCIA DE ALIMENTOS::AVALIACAO E CONTROLE DE QUALIDADE DE ALIMENTOS
