Abstract:
This research study was carried out to detect the antigen prevalence of Bovine Herpes Virus-1 (BHV-1) infection among two groups of cattle, which were maintained and reared in organized farms and in un-organized farms. A total number of 107 serum sample were collected randomly from both the farms, comprising of 54 serum samples (n=54) from the organized farms and 53 serum samples (n=53) among un-organized farms, The genomic DNA extraction from the serum samples were carried out for the detection of Bovine Herpes Virus-1 infection by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using gI gene specific. PCR detected 25 samples from organized farms and 24 samples from un-organized farms, the percentage prevalence of Bovine Herpes Virus-1 infection in organized farms was 47.16 percent (25/53) and 44.44 percent (24/54) in the un-organized farms. The present study emphasizes the diagnosis of BHV-1 infection in Cattle in organized farms and un-organized farms based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) result.
