In this study, bovine coronavirus (BCV) and bovine rotavirus (BRV) seroprevalances were detected by ELISA in 107 goat blood serum samples obtained from five different provinces of Northern Turkey. The results of the study reflected 41.12% and 82.24% seropositivity against BCV and BRV, respectively, in the goat sera. BCV seroprevalance in mature goats is determined for the first time with this study. Furthermore, this is the first statement of BRV and BCV seroprevalances in the mature goat population in Turkey.
