Pathological and Molecular Investigation of Some Bacterial in the Lungs and Livers of Red Sokoto Goats Slaughtered at Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria.

This study was conducted to determine the pathological findings and molecular investigation of bacteria flora associated with lesions in lungs livers goats slaughtered for public consumption at Ilorin, abattoir. A total 450 samples (240 210 livers) were collected examined from Ipata slaughterhouse Kwara State. Of this number, 58 (24.17%; 95% CI = 19.19–29.96) 17 (8.10%; 5.17–12.58) revealed gross microscopic as a result bacterial pathogens. Based on examination, lung categorized into bronchopneumonia (27.59%), congestion (22.41%), interstitial pneumonia (17.24%), hemorrhages (13.77%), emphysematous (10.34%), hyperemia (8.62%). In liver, hepatic 8 (47.06%) most observed lesion. Others included enlargement (29.41), fibrosis (17.65%), abscess (5.88%). The Klebsiella species (51.72%) Bacillus (48.28%), while Escherichia (52.94%) Salmonella detected liver. analysis showed that organisms did not fully cluster similar other parts world. infection caused by these histopathological livers. There is need more studies further characterize Red Sokoto breeds in-depth.
