A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capripneumoniae (Mccp) antibodies in beetal and beetal teddy cross breeds of goats in Okara, Sahiwal and Faisalabad districts by using field diagnostic Latex Agglutination Test (LAT) kit "CapriLAT" during September, 2010 to February, 2011. Out of 750 serum samples, 343 samples (45.70 %) were positive for Mccp antibodies. Prevalence of Mccp antibodies attributed to goat breeds significantly differs in Okara and Sahiwal districts as well as in the aggregate of three districts altogether.
