Abstract

The study highlights the direct and financially accountable economic losses due to brucellosis in bovine. Among 396 cattle and 643 buffaloes screened for brucellosis using i ELISA, 72 (18.18 %) cattle and 76 (11.82 %) buffaloes were found positive. Economic losses accruing due to brucellosis were maximum (86.03 to 86.44 %) due to reduction in milk production followed by treatment cost and loss of calf due to abortion.
