• Goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) are
domesticated ruminants known for their
adaptability, hardiness, and diverse utility
in producing milk, meat, fiber, and hides.
• Versatile Utility: Goats are raised for milk
(dairy goats), meat (meat goats), fiber (fiber
goats such as Angora and Cashmere), and
hides.
• Adaptability: They can thrive in various
environments, from arid regions to
mountainous terrains.
• Reproductive Efficiency: High
reproductive rate with typically 1-3 kids per
birthing cycle, allowing for rapid population
growth.

• Physical Condition: Checking for weight loss, dehydration, or other signs of
poor health.
• Body Temperature: Measuring to detect fever or hypothermia.
• Respiratory Rate: Monitoring for signs of respiratory distress.
• Heart Rate: Assessing for irregularities or abnormal rates.
 ANTEMORTEM EXAMINATION

• Mucous Membranes: Evaluating color and moisture for signs of anemia or

dehydration.
• Skin and Coat Condition: Checking for parasites, infections, or injuries.
• Gait and Movement: Observing for lameness or difficulty in movement.
• Appetite and Feed Intake: Monitoring eating habits to detect potential issues.
 POSTMORTEM EXAMINATION

External Examination:
• Overall condition
• Skin and coat
• Body orifices
• Injuries or abnormalities
 POSTMORTEM EXAMINATION

Internal Examination:
• Organs: Checking for size, color, texture, and presence of lesions.
• Tissues: Evaluating for signs of inflammation, necrosis, or other abnormalities.
• Body Cavities: Inspecting for fluid accumulation or unusual contents.
• Bones and Joints: Examining for fractures, infections, or deformities.
• Digestive Tract: Checking for blockages, ulcers, or parasites.
