Abstract: A clinical study on the prevalence of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) was carried out in an organized livestock farm in goat population, Jamdoli, Rajasthan state using acid fast method, single intra dermal test (SID), ELISA followed by hemato-biochemical parameter studies. Out of 37 goats, one goat was found positive with ELISA. Detailed studies of this goat on the hemato-biochemical variations were carried out for additional information for better management of the rest of the population of the livestock farm. The hematological studies revealed significant decreases in neutrophil and platelet counts and elevated lymphocytes, MCV and MCH values. The biochemical reactions showed elevated values of direct bilirubin contents followed by low level values of SGOT, total protein, albumin, A/G ratio, calcium and phosphorus.
