A Brief Note on Pathology of Uterine Abnormalities in Goats

  1. Beena V

Abstract

Goat was the earliest ruminant and probably first animal after dog to be domesticated by man. Due to its economic viability, goat is also called the poor man’s cow and it is an essential component among livestock in agriculture-based production system. Around 80% of the global goat population is in the developing countries. India holds second largest population of goats and stands first in goat milk production and is the second largest in goat meat production with an annual growth rate of 2.6% and 2.4%, respectively. Among small ruminants, main factors which affect production are lack of good management, reproductive disorders, harsh climatic conditions and diseases. Goats attain early sexual maturity with regular and successful reproduction and producing about two kids per year with 20–30% twinning. But due to genital problems among female goats this target is not attained. Reproductive tract diseases are more common in female goats as compared to male goats due to hormonal effects. Reproductive abnormalities inflict a huge economic loss by causing either infertility or sterility in animals. Uterine and ovarian lesions are more common in animals and these greatly contribute to sterility or infertility and thereby reduce the enterprise. Keywords: Goats, uterus, abnormalities, lesions, endometritisCite this ArticleBeena V.
