The goal of this paper was to evaluate of biotherapy of Mycoplasma agalactiae in the treatment of goats with natural infection of Contagious Agalactia (CA) of sheep and goats from Cariri region of Paraiba state. Mastitis, agalactia, arthritis and keratoconjunctivitis were the principal clinical signs observed in animals with natural infection. The diagnosis of CA was made by bacterial isolation with modified Hayflick medium. All isolates produced not only the displayed fried-egg colony morphology but also films and spots. Fermentation of glucose, and arginine in liquid medium were not observed. The biotherapic was made from M. agalactiae isolated from milk of goat with natural infection. The animals received the biotherapic dinamized at 30D diluted in water by oral via three times a day during eight weeks. The results showed not only the absence of clinical signs in the treated animals, but also they get back the productivity, good performance status and the disappearance of outbreak in the study region. At the end of 12 months post treatment no clinical signs of the disease and bacteriological isolation were observed. These results indicate that Mycoplasma nosode showed high efficacy to control the contagious agalactia in goats from different epidemiological situations.
