Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out to study the seroprevalence of IBR in buffaloes of organized and unorganized sectors in all the districts of Telangana state. The data was also categorized into age, sex and breed wise for comparison. Among the 524 samples collected, 155 were found positive accounting to 29.58%. Organized sector (41.36 %) had significantly (P < 0.05) higher seroprevalence compared to unorganized sector (21.05 %). Above 5years age group buffaloes had significantly (P < 0.05) higher seroprevalence (34.86%) than the below 5 years age group (9.26%). The seroprevalence of IBR between male (20%) and female (29.77%) was not significant (P > 0.05). The seroprevalence of IBR between the GMB (36.73%) and ND Buffaloes (25.30%) was significant (P < 0.05).
