Abstract
The article covers 3 outbreaks of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivit is (IBKC) involving 43.33% of total animal population at 3 adjacent vi llages. Moraxella bovis and Branhamella ovis were isolated, and are pr obably the major cause of IBKC. The isolates were confirmed on the bas is of cultural,morphological and biochemical characters. The organisms were susceptible to commonly used antibiotics like gentamycin, chlora mphenicol, ampicillin and penicillin.
