Salmonellosis in goats

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
M S Bulgin, B C Anderson

Abstract

Three episodes of salmonellosis in goats were similar to the disease described in neonatal calves, 2- to 4-week-old calves, and adult cattle. However, bloody diarrhea so often associated with salmonellosis in other animals was not seen in any of the goats. Mortality was high despite fluid therapy and the use of antibiotics shown to be effective in vitro. The importance of specific etiologic diagnosis was emphasized, inasmuch as salmonellosis of goats can be confused with other, more common diseases and, though other measures can be used to treat or control these similar diseases, strict sanitation and management changes were the only means found to be effective in the control of caprine salmonellosis.
