An Abattoir Survey of Diseases of Feral Goats

Abstract: Caseous lymphadenitis was the most frequently encountered pathological condition in 3,720 feral goats examined during routine meat inspection procedures. Among 9 separate consignments of animals, the prevalence of infection averaged 7.4% (range 0.3% to 18.8%). The majority of lesions were seen in lymph nodes draining superficial body areas although many also occurred in internal nodes and organs. Corynebacterium ovis was isolated from 25 of 32 lesions submitted for bacteriological examination. Other conditions… Show more

“…Furthermore, visceral lesions have been described as rare and found only in a minority of animals (7). Additionally, in sheep, visceral lesions, and particularly lung lesions, occur more frequently and in greater numbers than in goats (6,7,10,11). Herein, it seems that primary infection with C.…”
