Tritrichomonas foetus causes Trichomonosis in cattle which cause early abortion in cows. To study the prevalence of bovine trichomonosis, we have optimized OIE recommended gold standard method using Biomed’s Inpouch TF kit. Tritrichomonas foetus (Riedmuller) Wenrich and Emerson (ATCC®30003TM), strain BP-4: Beltsville was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and growth parameters were studied under our laboratory conditions using Biomed’s Inpouch TF kit and Inhouse prepared media. We have screened a total of 444 bulls from various Government organized semen production stations for the presence of Tritrichomonas foetus. None of the bulls were found positive of Tritrichomonas foetus.
