RESUMO

Using the content analysis, reference points, that have oriented the formation of the animal health service in São Paulo State, have been identified at national and international levels, since the creation starting of the Department of Agriculture of São Paulo until today. Preceded by a historical recovery of the animal health service build-up, the current model was described based on organizational, procedural and operational dimensions. Throughout the years, according to the different aims of several government groups, this service has played different roles in the Department of Agriculture?s organizational structure. The animal health service, from mere complementary technical support for the animal improvement projects, became an active agent in the control of animal diseases, especially since 1969, with the establishment of foot-and-mouth-disease control campaigns. This new role was consolidated, from the 1990´s on due to the new shedule in international trade and the constitutive agreement of the World Trade Organization and its the agreements and legal instruments mainly the adoption of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures Agreement (SPS). It was noticed that established strategies and policies of animal health programs are based on traditional epidemiology reference points. This approach doesn?t allow characterization and interpretation of the role of social economic organization of production has in determining productive problems. The close relation between the aims of São Paulo animal health service and the contents of international health standards leads internal priorities to a second role. The legal basis which defines the animal health service organization doesnt promote power in its own service, as it is expected, on the other hand, a modern public organization with flexibility, interactivity, managing capacity, strategic vision and the quality concepts practices. Despite the great offer of participation channels and integration with civil society, there is no evidence of effectiveness. The rules established for pact relations or partnerships turned out to be excessively bureaucratic, generally more suitable for agreements among large corporations. The animal health service, in theory, has a permanent focus on sanitary education; however, tools and methods described in the legal basis of action of the animal health service, dont emphasize educational approach.
