Description
Summary:The aim of the present study was to establish a relationship between the results obtained using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique for antibodies in blood serum and milk at herd level. For this purpose, 325 samples of bulk tank milk were analyzed with 4 antibody ELISAs from dairy herds with a prevalence of seropositive animals; seroprevalence was also evaluated. Data were arranged to analyze the sensitivity of the bulk tank milk test to detect herds with high risk of active infection (>65% seroprevalence) and the specificity to detect those with very few (
