Abstract

The present study was conducted to record the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in dairy animals in and around Jaipur district of Rajasthan. A total 400 animals (200 each of cattle and buffaloes) were randomly selected and screened by using SID and ELISA test. The prevalence of bovine tuberculosis was recorded as 5.25% and 2.5% by SID and ELISA, respectively and the combined prevalence was recorded as 2%. The cattle species showed a high prevalence rate as compared to buffaloes and a significantly high (P<0.005) association with the sex of animals was observed whereas the breed and age of animals not revealed any significant association for bovine tuberculosis.
