| description | MAP infection or also known as Johne's disease is viewed as one of
the most serious and chronic bacterial diseases among ruminants that will
indirectly cause economic losses to the farmers This study was conducted to
determine the presence of MAP organisms in fecal and antibodies in the serum samples. A total of 129 fecal samples and 43 serum samples were
collected from 43 dairy cattle at Taman Pertanian Universiti (TPU) and the
samples were used for detection of antigen and antibodies using Ziehl
Neelsen acid fast stain and Complement Fixation Test (CFT) respectively.
Results from Ziehl-Neelsen acid fast stain technique revealed, 23 (17.8%)
out of 129 samples were positive. Meanwhile, no positive result were
obtained from CFT using serum samples. This result might be affected by
the stages of infection in MAP as the animals might be under Stage I or
Stage II where the concentration of antibodies and antigen were assumed to
be too low to be detected. As a conclusion, no active infection was detected
in the herd tested and serology tests such as CFT provide high specificity
and low sensitivity compared to Ziehl-Neelsen stain. Fecal culture remains
the best diagnostic method to confirm MAP despite being time-consuming. |
