A total of 300 cattle of either sexes and having age groups in between 3-6 years, 6-10 years, 10 years and above were subjected to interdermal tuberculin. Veriner caliper was used for the exact measurement of the skin before injection tuberculin and 72 hours later. Their results were interpreted according to the standard procedure. No bull was found suffering from tuberculosis, similarly in the age group of 3-6 years no positive case was found. However, in the age group of 6-10 years, 4 cases were found positive and in age group 10 years and above, 6 cases were positive. Generally tuberculosis was positive in emaciated and debilitated animals and less common in fair animals.
The study has generally a help in diagnosing the prevalence of tuberculosis in cattle, particularly in the cattle colonies in the vicinity of Lahore. More studies are recommended in the area to estimate the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis on profound basis.
