The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of herds and animals such as Campylobacter fetus infection in beef cattle properties of the major producing states in Brazil: Bahia, Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pará , Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Rondônia, São Paulo and Tocantins. The sampled area corresponded to 65.5% of the entire national territory and 89.1% of cattle in the country. Were examined using the fluorescent antibody technique, 1191 bulls, 120 properties distributed in 12 states surveyed. IN home ownership was a questionnaire for collecting information management, and property characteristics of animals. The prevalence of herds and animals such as infection by C. fetus were respectively 50.8% (95% CI: 41.6% - 60.1%) and 19.7% (95% CI: 13.3% - 25.1%). None of the variables raised by questioning the properties was associated with infection with C. fetus.
