  • Title: Prevalence and distribution of caseous lymphadenitis in feral goats.
    Author: Batey RG, Speed CM, Kobes CJ.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1986 Feb; 63(2):33-6. PubMed ID: 3964142.
    Abstract:
    A total of 2,920 feral goats from pastoral areas of Western Australia were examined and the prevalence of caseous lymphadenitis was estimated to be 7.8 +/- 0.9% in goats presented for slaughter. Head, body and visceral lesions were present in 49.3%, 46.7% and 12.3% of affected goats, respectively. A comparison with previously reported data from sheep has been made and significant differences are discussed. Lung lesions were relatively uncommon in goats, whereas the distribution of carcase lesions was similar between the species. Multiple lesions appear to be less common in goats than in sheep.
