All animals were subjected for detailed gynaecological examination followed with white side test and serological analysis for diagnosis of endometritis and brucellosis, respectively. In conclusion, brucellosis suspected cases can be diagnosed at field level using Rose Bengal agglutination test (RBAT) kit. Recommended to cull the brucella positive animal from the herd.
