ASSESSMENT OF SEROPREVALENCE AND RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH BRUCELLOSIS IN GOAT
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 51
Abstract
The study was carried out to know the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with occurrence of brucellosis in goats. Total 515 serum samples were randomly collected from goats having above 6 months of age during March, 2013 to March, 2014 and screened by Rose Bengal Plate Test, Standard Tube Agglutination Test and Indirect – Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Out of total 515 sera samples, 42 (8.15%) were positive by RBPT, 41 (7.96%) by STAT and 31 (6.02%) by I- ELISA. Seroprevalence significantly (P ˂ 0.05) higher found in sirohi followed by marwadi, surati, zalawadi and mehasani breed by RBPT and STAT but insignificant (P ˃ 0.05) by I-ELISA. Seroprevalence insignificantly (P ˃ 0.05) higher in female than male by all three test. Seroprevalence significantly (P ˂ 0.05) higher found in adult age group than young age group; mixed flock than single flock; unorganized rearing practice (Migratory and Panjarapol) than organized; with abortion history than without abortion history and with carpal hygroma than without carpal hygroma by all three serological test. Seroprevalence significantly (P ˂ 0.05) higher found with orchitis than without orchitis by RBPT and STAT but insignificant (P ˃ 0.05) by I-ELISA.
