Abstract: The present study was undertaken to detect the presence of Rotavirus in non-diarrhoeic goat fecal sample by RNA-PAGE and Silver staining. Around 70 fecal samples from non-diarrhoeic goats aging between 2 months to 2 year were subjected to RNA- PAGE after nucleic acid extraction, of which none of the sample was found to show 11 segments migration pattern typical of Rotavirus. RNA-PAGE serves as a simple and inexpensive technique, for detection of rotaviral double-stranded RNA genome in faecal specimens by PAGE in combination with silver staining.
