Neosporosis is a disease caused by the parasite Neospora caninum considered one of the most important
cause of abortion on cows worldwide. We have studied the presence of antibodies against N. caninum
analyzing the bulk tank and the individual milk using a commercial indirect ELISA test. Sixteen
farms were visited and surveyed and from them 69% were positives. Statistical analysis showed that the
antibodies were higher in the bulk tank in the herds in which dogs were present on the farm. Finally,
the individually cow’s milk was analyzed in four farms and the results were related with their individual
milk quality parameters and it was observed that level of positivity to N. caninum in individual milk
was related to increased protein but to decreased lactose in milk.
