Abstract :Haemorrhagic septicaemia HS is one of the economically most important bacterial diseases of large ruminants. In the present investigation, a total of 156 buffaloes Murrah, Jafarabadi, and Bhadawari breeds at a semiorganized farm after administration of HS alum precipitated killed vaccine were screened serologically for the presence of anti-HS antibodies by single dilution indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay iELISA . Out of 156 buffaloes tested for presence of anti-HS antibodies, a greater proportion of buffalo 67.94% had protective level of anti-HS antibodies even after 90th day post vaccination.
