Neonatal Mortality of Small Ruminants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neonatal mortality occurring within 14 days of birth was recorded in sheep and goats in Jordan during 2000−2001. Post-mortem examination of 155 lambs and kids that died in the neonatal period indicated that 120 (77.4%) of lambs’ and kids’ deaths were due to infectious causes, another seven (4.5%) died of a combination of infectious and non-infectious causes and 18 (11.6%) died because of non-infectious causes. Postmortem examination failed to discover a cause of death in 5 out of the 104 lambs and in 5 out of the 51 kids. The results of the investigation demonstrate that losses in neonates may be due to more than one cause in the same animal.
