RBPT recorded the seroprevalence as 14.70% in cattle and 15.38% in buffaloes at Government and 18.53% in cattle and 35.40% in buffaloes at various private livestock farms. Out of these RBPT positive animals, 7.19% cattle and 2.91% buffaloes at Government whereas 9.00% cattle and 23.70% buffaloes at private livestock farms were found seropositive when applied SAT.
