Driving Determinants Influencing Mortality of Goats in the Tropics: Challenges for Sustainable Livestock Development
Abstract: Goat mortality in the tropics is driven by multifactorial determinants that pose critical challenges to sustainable livestock development. Key contributors include infectious diseases, such as peste des petits ruminants, goat pox, enterotoxemia, and haemonchosis, which remain prevalent due to limited vaccination coverage and inadequate biosecurity measures. Bacterial infections, like pneumonia and caseous lymphadenitis, along with parasitic infestations, such as coccidiosis and liver fluke, significantly reduce goat survival rates, especially in …

Amplification of 16s rRNA Gene of Brucella melitensis Causing Brucellosis Isolated from the Aborted Fetes of Goat
Abstract: ABSTRACTBrucella melitensis is zoonosis caused by facultative intracellular bacteria of genus Brucella, which are widely distributed in both human and animals, especially in developing world. The diagnosis of goat brucellosis requires isolation of the bacteria from stomach contain aborted fetes of goat. However cultural sampling sensitivity often low, depending on the disease stage, Brucella species, culture medium, quantity of circulating bacteria and blood culture technique employed. The development of PCR …
