Abstract
The present study highlights the seroprevalence of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) in goats using slide agglutination test. A total of 1427 serum samples from goats belonging to Jabalpur district of Mahakaushal region of Madhya Pradesh were screened over a period of one year (i.e. April 2014 to March 2015). All the samples were screened for CCPP antibodies by slide agglutination test (SAT) using colored CCPP antigen. The overall seroprevalence of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia in goats was 10.65 per cent (152 out of 1427 goats). Seroprevalence of CCPP in organised goatry was higher (i.e. 13.54%) than the unorganised sector of goatry (i.e. 9.01%). Sex wise seroprevalence was marginally higher in female (10.67%) than the male (10.61%). SAT for CCPP detection using colored antigen was found to be quick, simple and low cost with ease of application in field condition without the need of any specialized training and equipments.
