[Discovery of rams shedding Brucella ovis by immunochemical study of the seminal plasma]

Clinical, bacteriological, serum and immunochemical experiments were carried out on rams, infected with Br. ovis. The most advisable for the discovery of infectious rams proved to be the immunochemical research on the seminal plasma. The demonstration of immunoglobulin fractions in the seminal plasma of rams of the infected group permits to find out the rams, detaching Br. ovis, without treating the animals with the abortive form of the infection.
