Studies on Sero Prevalence of Bovine Brucellosis by Different Tests
Page No. : 131-133
ABSTRACT
Prevalence of brucellosis in Livestock Research Station, Mandira and unorganized dairy farm of Assam (India) was studied using avidin biotin ELISA (AB- ELISA), rose bengal plate test (RBPT) and standard tube agglutination test (STAT). The seroprevalence was found to be significantly (P<0.05) lower in well-managed farms than unorganized farms. Seroprevalence was higher in cattle (14.28%) in comparison to buffalo (9.73%). Higher incidence of brucellosis was recorded in aborted cows (55.00%) followed by repeat breeders (24.0%) and cases with retention of placenta (20.0%). Overall seroprevalance of brucellosis was found to be 11.94% and it increased with age.Keywords: Bovine, brucellosis, seroprevalnce
