Abstract	In India, brucellosis was first reported in 1942, and now it is endemic in all over the country (Renukaradhya et al., 2002). In India, brucellosis is mainly transmitted to humans by ingestion of infected milk, contact with infected materials and laboratory infections. In general, milk is a major source of Brucella infection to humans (OIE, 2009). There is no single test is confirmatory in brucellosis diagnosis due to various demerits of conventional, serological and molecular tests. Hence, a minimum of two standard tests were warranted to find out the true status of animals with brucellosis. For screening of lactating animals, milk is a suitable sample for diagnosis of brucellosis. Brucellosis diagnosis in milk sample can be achieved by directly antigen detection methods (culture, polymerase chain reaction) and indirectly antibody detection methods (milk ring test and milk enzymatic linked immunosorbent assay) (OIE, 2009 and Al-Majali et al., 2009).
