Cross-sectional case control study was conducted in area which incidence of bovine tuberculosis equal to 10.06 percent (62/616) of small dairy holders (at least one animal in herd has positive and/or suspected result for SID). In order to collect herd characteristics and farm management data, interview and farm visit by veterinarians was carried out in 59 case herds and 118 control herds. Our study suggests herd characteristics and farm management were neither different nor associate with occurring of bovine tuberculosis. However, number of companion animal in farm was significantly different. Also, the use of rice straw as roughage for cattle was significantly associated with disease occurrence (odd ratio = 3.52) (p LT 0.05).
