Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a contagious disease among cattle and buffalo worldwide. Currently, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been recognized as an efficient diagnostic tool that is less time-consuming and easier than the viral neutralization test to measure the antibody levels. In the present study, an in-house method of indirect ELISA was developed to detect the bovine antibodies against Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) and its performance was assessed using field samples. This in-house method has been compared with the commercial ELISA test kit for detection of bovine antibodies against LSDV. The sensitivity (Se) and the specificity (Sp) of the test were estimated using a Bayesian latent class model. Checkerboard titration was performed using the naturally LSDV-infected bovine sera and colostrum-deprived calf sera. The LSDV antigen concentrations (1 TCID50/mL), the sample serum (1:500), and goat anti-bovine immunoglobulin G (IgG) labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (1:10,000) were determined to be optimal for this assay. The calculated cut-off value was 0.067, and there were no differences in the results of tests that utilized positive and negative sera (p
