The main objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of pathogens related to abortions in Holstein calves. The research was conducted in Torreon, Coahuila, where 238 blood samples from aborted heifers were collected and analyzed for pathogen detection using indirect immunofluorescence techniques. The abortion rates of 337 were recorded by gestational trimester, with the second trimester being the most critical period, and the services per conception required to achieve pregnancy after abortion were evaluated. The results showed a prevalence of 11.34% for Neospora caninum and 15.54% for IBR, with a higher incidence of abortions in the second trimester of gestation. These findings underscore the need to implement vaccination and monitoring programs to reduce the prevalence of these infections.
