dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out in 3 selected abattoirs in Kaduna state,Nigeria,to determine the prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in slaughtered cattle and goats. A total of 700 animals consisting of 500 cattle and 200goats were sampled. Sera and tissues suspected to be tuberculosis were collected from 3 selected abattoirs andanalyzed using the lateral flow (Sera) and ZhielNelseen test (tissue) methods. The results showed that 91(18.2%) of the cattle sampled were positive using immunochromatography assay test and that all these cattle were White Fulani(Bunaji).None of the SokotoGudali cattle examined was positive for tuberculosisusing immunochromatography assay test. By sex 71(16%) bulls were positive while 20(32%) of the females were positive.Majority of the cattle positive for the immunochromatography assay test were within the age range of 5-6 years old. Similarly, 25(12.5%) of the goats were positive for M.bovis and were all Red Sokoto while none of the Kano brown goats was positive forM.bovisusing the immunochromatography assay test.Furthermore,seropositivity for the male and female goats was 13% and 9.6% respectively.Of the 500 cattle sampled, 2(0.4%) had lesions suggestive of tuberculosis and were acid fast positive.In conclusion this work reconfirms the existence of M.bovisinfectionin the study area and further showed that it is on the increase.It is therefore pertinent that there is a need forurgent intervention, more so as it is of great public health significance.en_US
