The present study was undertaken to know the seroprevalence of bovine brucellosis in Kerala among slaughter cattle. A total of 1020 serum samples were collected from three different slaughterhouses of Kerala from the period June, 2013 to March, 2014. The study included the animals aged >3years of both the sex. Serum samples were processed for detection of antibodies against Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis using RBPT and C-ELISA, which is more specific than the indirect ELISA and which could discriminate vaccinal antibody from antibody induced by infection, showed overall prevalence rate of 6.17 per cent (n=63) out of this 6.81 per cent was in female animals and 5.26 per cent in male animals. The detection rate in RBPT was 7.74 per cent (n=79) out of this 7.90 per cent was in female animals and 5.26 per cent in male animals. Considering the positive reactors, study recommended to implements Brucella control programme in Kerala so as to protect the health of consumers, abattoir workers as well as the animals
