Caprine flocks were showing symptoms of hyper pyrexia, muco-purulent nasal discharges, respiratory distress, dullness and mortality after 5–7 days. Post-mortem lesions observed were fibrinous pleuro pneumonia, pleural adhesions and copious pleural transudate in thoracic cavity. Based on symptoms, post mortem lesions and cultural examination, it was diagnosed as contagious caprine pleuro pneumonia (CCPP) and ailing goats were successfully treated with Tylosin @ 10 mg/kg b.wt., I/M for 5 days thus controlled horizontal transmission within the flock.
