Abstract

In present study, we investigated 50 serum samples of goats from CIRG, Makhdoom and 470 serum samples of sheep from an organized animal shed of Northern India. These samples were tested for detection of anti-Brucella antidodies in goats and sheep using plate-ELISA. At total of 24% serum samples (24.4% females and 20% males) from CIRG, Makhdoom and 39.4% serum samples (41.2% females and 20% males) from an organized shed of Northern India were found seropositive respectively. This data indicate a high prevalence of disease in Northen India followed my CIRG, Makhdoom. This data also indicate that females are highly susceptible to infection than males.
