    This research project aimed to evaluate the mycoplasmosis prevalence and predisposing factors to the backyard birds in the Salcedo canton. The research was framed as a non-experimental descriptive crosssectional study, with which the prevalence of mycoplasmosis galliseptum was determined by the indirect ELISA serological test performed in the laboratory of the Veterinary Clinic of the Technical University of Cotopaxi. 115 random samples were selected from the Antonio José de Holguín, Panzaleo, Cusubamba, Mulliquindil and Mulalillo parishes. The results were processed through Microsoft Excel using tables and statistical graphs where the prevalence of MG mycoplasmosis was analyzed. While, for the analysis of the relation between positive cases and the factors predisposing to the disease, the SPSS software applied the chisquare statistical test. The findings revealed an overall prevalence of mycoplasmosis of 35.65% in the Canton of Salcedo, with the parish of Mulliquindil having the highest prevalence, with 50%. The statistical analysis did not reveal a significant relation between the positive cases and the predisposing factors evaluated, according to the “p value” obtained. Finally, the epidemiological map prepared allowed identifying the distribution of positive cases in each of the parishes of the canton.
