Anatomy of the Skull of Saanen Goat. An anesthesiology and Stereology Approach

The Saanen goat is known as the greatest milk producer among small ruminat breeds. However, its morphometric features still remain unclear. Therefore, present work aimed to investigate functional anatomy of upper and lower jaws well volumetric properties male female for clinical applications. heads 20 adult animals (10 males 10 females) were included. Totally, 22 parameters measured on three dimensional computed tomographic images using RadiAnt DICOM Viewer software some hot macerated sample. mean volume paranasal sinuses conchal estimated stereological method. Based results, differences between females not significant (p>0.05) in all desired parameters.The frontal lacrimal largest smallest sinus both sexes. Also, dorsal middle ones, respectively. common nasal meatus was ventral cavity. In conclusion, these findings provide a basic data that would be useful blocking terminal branches cranial nerves this breed surgical purpose or teeth injuries treatment.
