Biosecurity
• Simple and easy
• Prevent diseases from entering the herd in the first place!
– Keep the herd closed to any new additions, any transport vehicles, all wildlife, and every other avenue a disease pathogen could take
![Page 3: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Biosecurity
• Is the cheapest method of disease control in the long term
• Used extensively by the more sophisticated animal management systems
![Page 4: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Biosecurity “To Do” List
• Test animals for diseases before purchase.
• Quarantine all purchased animals on arrival. Allow no nose to nose contact. The further away they can be, the better it is. The longer they can be isolated the better. 2 weeks is a bare minimum with 2 months being an ideal.
• Vaccinate and deworm all animals before commingling them with your animals.
• Restrict access to barns and pastures where animals are raised.
• Implement policies to limit pathogens from outsiders such as footbaths, boot covers and disinfect transportation units (trucks, trailers and cages).

Developing a health plan
• Maintain records
• When needed, work with your veterinarian and Extension personnel
• Every operation is unique so there is not a one-size fits all plan
• Antibiotics + vaccines ≠ biosecurity !!!

![Page 15: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Disease
• Any change in the structure or function of an animal’s body which interferes with that animal’s intended purpose.
![Page 16: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Disease Diagnosis
• I’m NOT Swami !!!
• Identifying a disease in order to properly treat and/or control it.
• Without a proper diagnosis, treatment and prevention is more likely to fail.
![Page 17: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Which animal is sick?
![Page 18: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Normal physical
parameters of adult goats
Temperature 102-104 degrees F
Ruminations 1-2 per minute
Pulse 70-90 beats per minute
Respiration 15-30 breaths per minute
![Page 19: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Remember
• The normal values tend to be higher in kids
• Temperature can increase due to stress or environmental conditions
• Assess goat’s behavior when evaluating normal.
– Ex: breathing hard, coughing, and has a runny nose, and a temperature of 104 F on a cool day
![Page 20: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Common diseases
• Before discussing common diseases, some points to remember: – Some diseases look very similar in their clinical
presentation
– Some diseases are zoonotic a.k.a we can get them
– Some diseases may require “off-label” or extra-label drug use to treat effectively
– Work with your veterinarian in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease

Bloat signs
• Abdominal distension, left side, but depending on severity, can be on both sides
• Colic signs
• Anxiety
• Stomping their feet
• Urinating frequently
• Respiratory distress
• Recumbency
• Death
![Page 23: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bloat treatments
• Gas bloat:
– passage of a stomach tube, USING SOME TYPE OF GUARD OR SPECULUM, into the rumen and relieving the gas
• Frothy bloat:
– Poloxalene (Therabloat)
– Dioctyl sodium sulfosucinnate (DSS)
• Prevention
– Gradual change of diet
– Rumensin
![Page 24: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mechanical Relief
• Passing a stomach tube
• BECAUSE you may cause: – Aspiration pneumonia
– Trauma to esophagus and/or trachea
– Administration of large amount of liquids into the lungs which will cause a quick and dramatic death

Caprine Arthritis – Encephalitis
• Viral infection (Lentivirus)
• May affect joints, lungs, brain, and mammary glands
• Transmission is through kid ingesting infected dam’s colostrum
• Once a goat has CAE, it always has CAE
• Signs of infection may not be visible for months to years
![Page 26: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CAE treatment
• No specific treatment
• For arthritic form, – Treatment goal is to lesson the animal’s
discomfort
– Regular/proper foot trimming
– Pain relievers
– Good bedding and pasture management
REMEMBER, the goat you are treating is a source of infection to all other goats in your herd
![Page 27: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Prevention/Eradication
• Prevention is complicated
• Eradication is labor intensive
• Prevention
– Try to purchase goats from known CAE-negative herds
– Isolate new animals
– Testing and culling of all positive animals should eradicate the virus from the herd
![Page 28: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL)
• Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
• Abscesses: external and internal
• Extremely contagious and resistant organism
– Environmental contamination from draining abscesses
• Long incubation period
– Up to 6 months
![Page 29: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL)
• Clinical Signs – Any abscess on small ruminant should be treated as CL until
proven otherwise – External abscesses-lymph nodes
• Mandibular • Parotid • Prescapular • Prefemoral • Mammary
– Internal abscesses (“Thin Ewe Syndrome”) • Chronic weight loss • Respiratory signs
![Page 30: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL)
• Antibiotic treatment unrewarding
• Isolate animals with abscesses, especially if open and draining
• Surgical removal?
• Formalin injection?
– FDA zero tolerance carcinogens
![Page 31: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
CL treatment
• Drain or surgically remove abscess nodes
• Important points to remember
– The material survives in the environment for a long time
– infective to other goats so make sure D/C is disposed of correctly
– This disease is zoonotic meaning the material contains bacteria which will infect people so wear gloves !
– Culling the animal may be the easiest/smartest way to go.
![Page 32: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL)
• Cull affected animals – Shed in body fluids and open abscesses
• Test all new additions
• Vaccines – Commercial (Sheep) Extra-label goats
– Fever , edema, lower milk production, death
– Autogenous goats
![Page 33: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Treatment
• Depends on severity of the lesions, degree of secondary bacterial infection and location of the lesions
• This is a ZOONOTIC disease – WEAR GLOVES !
• Topical application of 3% iodine – Antibiotic treatment for secondary bacterial treatment, if needed
• Udder salves – Watch for mastitis
![Page 35: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Prevention/Control

• Handle sick animals last
• Incinerate gloves/ tissues
• DO NOT consume milk from does with lesions!!
• Vaccination during outbreaks
– Approved for sheep extra-label goats
![Page 36: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Foot rot and foot scald
• Contagious, bacterial infection – soft tissue between the toes of the hoof
• Foot scald is a milder form – often precedes foot rot
• Common in Tennessee – climate and weather
• More common spring /summer – can occur any season
![Page 37: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Foot Rot

Treatment
• Systemic antibiotics
• Topical applications, footbaths
• Proper care and trimming of the hoof: – removes dead tissue allowing penetration of
antibiotic preparation
– correct any overgrowth or abnormalities
– predisposing to injury
![Page 40: Master Meat Goat Health · 2017-06-22 · • Herpes . Johne’s Disease •Similar pathogenesis and epidemiology to cattle –Most likely to acquire infection as kids –Fecal oral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080719/5f791d94d59f185daa77bfab/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Treatment (cont.)

Polioencephalomalacia
• Result of low thiamine levels in the body
• Normal Rumen bacteria
– produce enough thiamine for the body,
• Rumen is altered
– production of thiamine decreases
– uptake of thiamine by the body

decrease thiamine
production/uptake
• Sudden changes in the feed
• Moldy feeds and use of feeds high in molasses
