Abstract
A sero survey on bovine brucellosis involving 459 cattle and
284 buffaloe sera samples covering 16 districts of Tamil Nadu has been
done by employing agglutination tests. Rose Bengal coloured antigen
was found to be more sensitive than Tetrazolium coloured antigen.
The result indicated that there is an equal spread of infection in all
the districts of Tamil Nadu and the incidence was more in organised
farms than rural areas. Breed. sex and age wise analysis indicated that
high graded white and black cattle, females and animals aged above
6 years are more susceptible to brucellosis.
