Description Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are a highly contagious and economically important viral disease affecting goats, sheep and wild ruminants. Mannheimia haemolytica is an opportunistic pathogen and it is a normal inhabitant of nasopharynx and tonsils of ruminants under stressful conditions the organism causes pneumonic pasteurellosis. An investigation was carried out to find out mortality among 24 out of 404 Tellicherry goats in an organized farm. Necropsy of dead animals revealed prominent epicardial petichiae, tracheal rings showed severe congestion and copious frothy fluid, edematous lung with severe consolidation and emphysematous. Intestinal mucosa appeared severely haemorrhagic and congested. Samples such as heart blood swab, ocular swab, nasal and oral swabs, lung and spleen were collected from dead animals and samples such as serum, whole blood, ocular swab, nasal and oral swabs were collected from 8 ailing animals for diagnosis. PPR viral antigens were detected by counter immune electrophoresis test and microbial culture of swabs revealed colonies of Mannheimia haemolytica. The isolates were confirmed as Mannheimia haemolytica organisms by cultural, morphological and biochemical test. 52 affected goats were treated with Inj. Enrofloxacin @ 1ml/20 kg. b.wt IM, Inj. Meloxicam @ 2 ml/33kg b.wt IM and Vitamins for 5 days. 47 animals recovered completely within five days of therapy and 5 animals with severe respiratory stress, enteritis and anorexia were died in the course of therapy.
