As far as animal health, zoonose diseases, specially brucellosis, are a real critical problem because they are directly related to public well-being. A participative approach with a effective relationship between researchers and farmer organizations has allowed to carry out a zoonose control program and to develop actions towards the increasing of the cattle productivity, as the installation of small factories for processing mineral mixtures and a veterinary vaccination center.
