| Abstract | The prevalence of brucellosis among goats was studied in organized farms in and around Chennai, Tamil Nadu, byconventional Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and also with c-ELISA using Bru Alert? Brucella antibody kit. In a total of 161sera samples screened for the presence of Brucella antibody, the overall positivities of 4.97% and 5.59 % were respectively foundby RBPT and c-ELSA. The study also recorded high seropositivity in animals past 5 years of age and in female animals. Acomparative analysis showed excellent agreement of the two tests and the chi-square test indicated strong (P<0.01) associationbetween the alternative tests. The study arrived at the conclusion that initial screening for brucellosis could be done with RBPTand confirmation should be made with c- ELISA test to eliminate false positives. |
