Summary/Abstract: Goats suffer from various diseases, which are caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites and other non-infectious agents. The diagnosis of goat diseases based not only on clinical symptoms is really difficult, as many diseases resemble one another. The important clinical symptoms of common diseases have been given, only to help farmers detect the sick goat at the earliest stage. Farmers may take some steps, as recommended, to prevent further deterioration in the condition of the animal, until it is brought under the supervision of a goat health specialist. It is observed that serious diseases can be prevented or minimized if timely preventive health care is adopted in goat farming.
