SUMMARY:

Livestock farming in Amapá has shown significant development over the years, consolidating its position as the holder of the second largest buffalo herd in the Legal Amazon. The growth of the herd is especially notable among buffaloes, which have a great capacity for movement for different purposes. However, one of the factors that can decisively impact the growth of the livestock chain is the health issue. In view of this, this study aimed to conduct a survey on the movement of cattle and buffalo herds in the state of Amapá. The aim of this study was to identify the number of animals according to their origin, species, means of transportation, and purpose, as well as the main causes of carcass condemnation in a slaughterhouse located in the municipality of Macapá-AP, between January 2019 and December 2023. The study adopted a documentary, descriptive, and quantitative approach, using data provided by the Agricultural Defense and Inspection Agency of the State of Amapá (DIAGRO), based on transit records and property registration, in addition to slaughter reports from Frigorífico Amazônia Empreendimentos Ltda. (FRIAAP). Of the Animal Transit Guides (GTAs) issued for bovines in Amapá, 79.69% were intended for buffaloes, while only 20.31% referred to cattle, highlighting the predominant use of waterways for transportation. Regarding the origin of animals in the state, the most representative municipalities were Tartarugalzinho, in the case of cattle, and Cutias, for the buffalo herd. The slaughter of buffaloes was the main activity, with emphasis on the years 2019, when 66.73% of the animals slaughtered were of this species, and 2020, with 69.34%. Among the pathologies diagnosed, tuberculosis was responsible for affecting 374 buffalo heads and only 20 cattle, an expected result due to the region where buffalo are raised and the lesser sanitary control over these animals. It is concluded that livestock farming in Amapá has significant production potential, and it is necessary to intensify technical monitoring and reestablish strategic guidelines so that the state can fully express its production capacity.
