Abstract

A cross- sectional study was carried out from October, 2019 to December, 2019 in Surkhet district of Nepal. A set of questionnaires was developed, pre-tested and then survey was carried out. A total of 184 goat blood serum samples were collected. PPRV circulating antibodies in goat serum samples were detected from c- ELISA kit. The data were collected, coded, computed and analyzed by SPSS version 20.0 and MS- EXCEL 2013. Chi- square test was used to find out the association investigated risk factors and the ELISA positive and negative animals. The study showed that 59.78% (110/ 184) of goat serum samples were positive to PPR. Significantly higher sero prevalence (p<0.05) was found in age group less than 1 year (71.6%) compare to age group more than 1 year (49%). Likewise, significantly higher sero- prevalence was found in goat reared under semi- intensive husbandry practice (70.2%) as compare to intensive husbandry practice (48.9%). The risk of female goats testing positive for PPRV antibodies was found higher (61.7%) than male goat (57.8%) but not significantly associated (P> 0.05). In addition, local breed of goats were more likely positive to PPRV antibodies (62%) as compare to improved breed (57.6%) but no significant association was found between breed and test result.
