Abstract

The study was carried out to get clear image about the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with occurrence of brucellosis in sheep and goats. Total 2325 serum samples were collected from sheep and goats having above 6 months of age during April, 2021 to April, 2022 and screened by Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and Buffered Acidified Plate Antigen Test (BAPAT) and were furtherly confirmed with CFT. Out of total 2325 sera samples, 278 (11.95%) were positive. The seroprevalence was found higher  in Rahmani sheep followed by Assaf, Barki, Romaov and Texel breeds. Also, the seroprevalence was found higher in Boer goats followed by Shami goats. Moreover, the seroprevalence was higher in female than male by the two tests. In addition, the seroprevalence was  higher found in adult age group than young age group; mixed flock than single flock; unorganized rearing practice (mobile flocks) than organized and with abortion history than without abortion history. So control programs should be applied
