Abstract
Present investigation was carried out to map out of the prevalence of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia of kids in ICAR Coat Unit, Ranchi Veterinary College, Ranchi and goats of Menipur, in order to map out its prevalence a total of 218 goats from Cost Unit of Ranchi Veterinary College, Ranchi and Spon five districts of Manipur were studied.
Out of 163 goats from ICAR Goat Unit, Ranchi Veterinary College, Ranchi, 71 were Black Bengal, 92 were cross-bred (Block senal x Jamunopori), 52 were mole, 111 female, 60 vere 0-3 months of age, 58 were 3-6 months of age and 37 were 6 months above. Serum samples were collected from each of 163 goats. These were tested for complement fixing antibodies using Mycoplama Acalacting antigen.
The distribution of goats showing highest or antibodies according to age, sex and breed indicated that more younger kids of 0-3 months (35.2) were highly significant than the kids of 3-6 months (31%) and 6 months above (21.6 s). There was no significant difference as far as sex was concerned. Similarly, no significant difference was also observed in the two breed groups of pure Black Bengal and Cross bred (Black Dangel x Jamunapari). A comparison of reactor rates to different categories of animals suggested that the contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCFF) was exclusively confined to the goat population irrespective of age, sex and breed of the animale.
