The main objective of this research was to study Bovine brucellosis in ElHawata area, ElGadarif State (2007). A total of 121 bovine sera were collected randomly from cattle of different age and breeds. Data regarding the history of the disease (frequent abortion) in the area were recorded. Samples were 1st subjected to serological investigation using Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT). 19 samples (15.7%) were found positive for antibodies against Brucellosis. The result was confirmed with (competitive ELISA) c-ELISA. The result was almost identical with RBPT except one sample which was found positive with c-ELISA and negative for RBPT. Only positive samples were tested with Serum Agglutination Test (SAT). the result confirmed that of c-ELISA and revealed antibody titer ranged between 17-1280. Different age groups were included in the study and the disease was detected in all groups. The disease was more prevalent in cross breeds. It was concluded that Bovine brucellosis is prevalent in ElHawata area, ElGadarif State
