International Journal of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry · 2025 · Vol. 10(11) · pp. 19–20
Abstract
A five-year-old pregnant goat was presented to the TVCC, ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, having completed its gestation period with a history of straining for the last four hours. Upon examination, two kids were delivered manually; both were stillborn. Each fetus exhibited bilateral enlargement in the cranioventral region of the neck corresponding to the thyroid gland. The skin was pale, thickened, edematous (myxedematous), and hairless. Gross and histopathological findings confirmed congenital goitre.
