    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1995) Muzaffar Shaheen; S.Haque
    The study on contagious caprine pleuropneumonia was conducted with respect to its occurrence in kids, during winter, its pathogenicity and chemotherapy in the department of Medicine, R.V.C. from December 1994 to April 1995. The sailent features of investigation were summarized as follows : 1. The occurrence of caprine Mycoplasmas in natural cases of pneumonia in kids, was found to be 31.37 %, 13.33% and 35 % in R.V.C. goat farm, kids of free herd village conditions and post mortem cases of goats, respectively. Thus it was concluded that the infection rate of Mycoplasma species was higher in the kids of an organized goat farm, where semi-intensive managemental practices were employed, as compared to that of free herd open village flocks, Feeding nature & pattern had no significant effect, though seasonal factor (winter) was an important predisposition. 1.2. Bio chemical and growth inhibition tests of isolates revealed that 24 strains (51.06%) were identified as M. mycoides subsp.mycoides 12 strains (25.53%) were typed as M. agalactiae and 6 strains (10.84%) were M. arginini. Rest of the 6 isolates (18.67%) were untypeable by the available antisera.
