Abstract
Bovine Leptospirosis is known to cause
enormous economic loss to the cattle industry. A
number of aspects of reproductive wastage in cattle
associated with leptospiral infection have been
highlighted by studies of naturally infected cattle,
which include abortion, premature birth of live calves,
still birth, birth of weak term calves which may
not survive, decreased milk production and infertility.
Ellis and Michna (1977) demonstrated leptospires
in placenta from animals which produced live healthy
calves as long as 60 days after infection. Many
aspects of Leptospirosls in cattle are still inadequately
deļ¬ned. This present study was undertaken with
a view to determine association of Leptospiral
infection in retained afterbirth.
