Present pilot study was the first attempt to estimate the prevalence of antibodies against Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in the goat population of Odisha. A total of 22 serum samples were collected from goats in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha and subjected to indirect ELISA by indigenous ELISA (i_ELISA) kit for the detection of antibodies against MAP in the Microbiology Laboratory, Animal Health Division, CIRG, Makhdoom. An apparent prevalence 68.19% (15/22) was recorded by i_ELISA where the S/P ratio of the positive control was considered to be 1(100%). The S/P ratio of the positive samples ranged from 0.4169 to 0.6857. The results indicate the previous exposure of the animals to MAP and suggest the need of detailed systematic sampling on a larger scale to estimate the exact prevalence of MAP in various regions of Odisha to formulate necessary preventive and control measures.
