Sex-wise higher prevalence rate was recorded in female cattle (14.06%), Age-wise highest prevalence recorded in the age group of 3-7 year (15.09%), breed-wise higher prevalence in crossbred cattle (20.00%) and cattle from organized farm recorded higher prevalence (15.65%) than unorganized farm by I-ELISA.
