dc.description.abstract Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia is a highly infectious and quickly spreading mycoplasmal illness that affects the great majority of goatherds and CCPP is caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capripneumoniae. CCPP can have significant economic consequences for goat farmers due to decreased productivity, high mortality rates, and trade restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the disease. A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2023 to December 2023 with the goat population of the Galkaio district to determine the seroprevalence of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia and its associated risk factors in Galkaio, Mudug, Somalia. Sera samples were collected from randomly from 384 goat and were examined for the presence of specific antibodies against Mccp by using cELISA at the Puntland Regional Veterinary Laboratory. A total of 384 serum samples were obtained from Goats of apparently healthy, above six months old and with no history of vaccination against CCPP for the last two years. Out of the total number of the samples examined 17(4.4%) were positive for Mccp antibodies using cELISA kit. Relatively higher prevalence was recorded in male (5.8%) than female goats (3.9%). Likewise, the age-based comparison showed that insignificantly higher prevalence (P>0.05) was recorded in adult animals (5.2%) than younger once (1.3%). In addition, herd size showed highly significant association (P<0.001) in that animals in small herd size had higher (10.8%) prevalence than others. Meanwhile, animals in Ba'adweyn village had significantly higher (P<0.05) CCPP seropositivity than other villages. This suggests that smaller herd sizes may be associated with a higher risk of CCPP. Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) poses a significant challenge to global goat production systems, including Somalia, causing economic losses and public health risks. Despite vaccination campaigns and biosecurity measures, the prevalence persists. Effective control and prevention strategies are needed. en_US
