چکیده
By complement fixation test 230 blood samples from goats and he goats were examined for presence of antibodies against Brucella ovis. 134 blood samples were from goats (23 of them were from slipping goats) and 96from he goats. The animals come from private farms in the Plovdiv and Pazardzhik regions (Southern Bulgaria). 10.87% of all tested blood samples contain antibodies against Brucella ovis. differences in the percentage of the positive reagents of different goat categories were found. The highest percentage was among slipping goats (39.13% towards to 11.71% among the healthy goats and 3.13% among he goats). It can be concluded that goats play an important role in the epidemiology of the disease. The greatest risk is slipping goats bred together with sheep flocks.

Detection of Anaplasma sp. in Korean Native Goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) on Jeju Island, Korea
Anaplasma species are obligate intracellular pathogens that can cause tick-borne diseases in mammalian hosts. To date, very few studies of their occurrence in Korean native goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) have been reported. In the present study, we investigated Anaplasma infection of Korean native goats on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, and performed phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the primary cause of hypoadrenocorticism in South African angora goats (Capra aegagrus): a comparison with Boer goats (Capra hircus) and Merino sheep (Ovis aries).
Our objective was to identify the primary site of the reduced adrenal function in South African Angora goats (Capra aegagrus) that causes a decrease in cortisol production and leads to severe losses of Angora goats during cold spells. Angora goats, Boer goats (Capra hircus), and Merino sheep (Ovis aries) were assigned to three intravenous treatments: 1) insulin, 2) corticotropin-releasing facto...

In order to estimate the relationship between forage quality and preference value of plant species for Raini goats(Capra aegagrus hircus), a field study was carried out on Raini goats’ grazing behavior in some desert habitats.Crude protein (as the most important factor affecting forage quality) of all plant species was measured at twophenological stages (spring and summer, 2010) in the dry rang...
متن کاملHigh polymorphism in the kappa-casein (CSN3) gene from wild and domestic caprine species revealed by DNA sequencing.
We assessed polymorphisms in exon IV of the kappa-casein gene (CSN3) in ten different breeds of domestic goat (Capra hircus) from three continents and in three related wild caprine taxa (Capra ibex, Capra sibirica and Capra aegagrus). Thirty-five DNA samples were sequenced within a 558 bp fragment of exon IV. Nine polymorphic sites were identified in domestic goat, including four ...
متن کاملEmbryo recovery and transfer for the production of transgenic goats from Korean native strain, Capra hircus aegagrus.
During the breeding season in Korea (September 1997 to April 1998), a goat embryo recovery and transfer program using a Korean native strain (Capra hircus aegagrus) was performed for the production of transgenic goats. Donors were synchronized with norgestomet implants and superovulated by a combined treatment with FSH and hCG. The treatment regime induced a consistent and efficient superovulat...
