Abstract

A study was conducted at the Ahmadu Bello University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (ABUVTH), Zaria to document the diseases of goats that occurred in Zaria between January, 1986 and December, 2002. A total of 1247 goats aged between day old to 4 years and reared on free range were treated during the period. The breeds of goats presented include: Kano brown (48%), Sokoto red (30%), West African dwarf (WAD) (11%), mixed breeds or crosses (3%) and unidentified (8%), respectively. The diseases diagnosed were salmonellosis, piroplasmosis, contagious ecthyma, cowdriosis, brucellosis, lameness, tick infestation, colibacillosis, helminthosis, pregnancy toxemia, tetanus, piroplasmosis, retained placenta, paraphimosis, Oestus ovis infection, mange, verminous pneumonia, coccidiosis, goiter, neonatal hypoglycemia, goat pox and mastitis. Most (54.51%) of the diseases encountered were parasitic and farmers intending to establish goat farms in Zaria should be advised to plan for their control. The public health significance of those diseases that are zoonotic is discussed. The need to encourage traditional remedies in the treatment of these diseases was recognised.

尼日利亚扎里亚山羊的疾病

在Zaria的Ahmadu Bello大学兽医教学医院(ABUVTH)进行了一项研究，以记录1986年1月至2002年12月期间在Zaria发生的山羊疾病。在此期间，共有1247只日龄至4岁的散养山羊接受治疗。山羊品种包括:卡诺棕山羊(48%)、索科托红山羊(30%)、西非矮山羊(11%)、混合品种或杂交山羊(3%)和未确定品种山羊(8%)。诊断出的疾病有沙门氏菌病、螺形体病、传染性湿疹、牛瘟、布鲁氏菌病、跛足、蜱虫病、大肠杆菌病、寄生虫病、妊娠毒血症、破伤风、螺形体病、残留胎盘、寄生虫病、卵巢感染、疥疮、寄生虫性肺炎、球虫病、甲状腺肿、新生儿低血糖、山羊痘和乳腺炎。大多数(54.51%)的疾病是寄生虫病，应建议打算在Zaria建立山羊养殖场的农民制定控制计划。讨论了人畜共患疾病的公共卫生意义。人们认识到有必要鼓励使用传统疗法治疗这些疾病。关键词:疾病，山羊，扎里亚热带兽医Vol. 23(2) 2005: 47-55
