Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Veterinary Advances - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 5

Abstract

Coenurosis is a fatal disease of goats unless surgical relief is provided. A total of 2,055 goats were brought to teaching veterinary hospital, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University since January-September/2012, of which four (0.19%) cases of gid disease were recorded based on a neurological examination. Cysts were located by ultrasound examination. Of the four cases, three goats were successfully cured surgically. The remaining goat had a cyst that was located so deep that removal was not possible. In conclusion, the use of ultrasound examination in association with a detailed neurological examination may provide a credential efficiency to locate and surgically remove coenurosis cysts in goats.
