Samples were tested for antibodies against Leptospira hardjo using DAS-ELISA. Herd level seroprevalence of antibodies against this serovar was low (3.2%). Sample value related to positive control value (S/P ratio) results were highest in herds with 51–100 and 101–500 animals, being 4.6 and 4.1% respectively. The S/P ratio of positive samples indicated a low percentage of infected animals in positive herds.  a0005-9366
