Abstract

The present study focuses on the characteristics and dominant pathologies of dairy cattle farms in Mila and Sétif regions. It took place over the period from November 2019 to March 2020. A sample of 87 farmers surveyed, including 38 in the region of Mila and 49 in Sétif. It emerges that the majority of dairy cattle farmed in these regions are of the imported breeds (70.5%), most herders take their
animals to pasture both in the dry season (44.9% in Mila and 54.8% in Sétif) and in the rainy season
(74.4% in Mila and 88.6% in Sétif). The pathologies most described by livestock farmers are, in order
of importance, foot-and-mouth disease, pasteurellosis, trypanosomiasis, botulism, contagious nodular
bovine dermatoses, mastitis, symptomatic anthrax and worm infections. Moreover, the sanitary pressure is not homogeneous on the two sites. Recommendations, based on the results obtained, have been extracted,
