Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the results of diagnostic studies on cattle leukemia in the Irkutsk region for 2004–2017. It was found that the infection with the bovine leukemia virus was 3,7 ± 0,4%; the number of hematological sick animals - 4,2 ± 0,2%. During the analyzed period, the percentage of infected livestock decreased (p <0,01) in both the public and individual sectors. The number of hematological patients ranged from 2,3 to 6,1% (with peaks in 2007 and 2012) and was characterized by a slight decrease (by 0,9%).
