Isolation and Antibiogram of Aerobic Nasal Bacterial Flora of Apparently Healthy West African Dwarf Goats

چکیده
In spite of the fact that every household keeps goats, their production is not well developed because of factors such as inadequate nutrition, poor management and prevailing diseases. Of all the diseases of goats, those affecting the respiratory tract [peste des petits ruminants (PPR), contagious caprine pleuro-pneumonia (CCPP) and pasteurellosis] cause substantial loss through high morbidity and mortality. Bacterial pneumopathies are commonly attributed to Mannheimia haemolytica which causes severe damage to the lung. In addition, bacterial agents such as Actinomyces pyogenes also inflict damage on pulmonary tissues in goats (4).
