What infectious diseases must be prevented in goat farming?

   Infectious diseases of goats are the most serious category of diseases harming goat production. They can not only cause the death of large numbers of goats and result in economic losses, but some infectious diseases shared by humans and goats can also pose a serious threat to human health. Especially with modern livestock farming and scientific research needs, goats are raised in highly concentrated conditions and transported frequently, making them even more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Therefore, actively carrying out prevention and control work against goat infectious diseases is of great significance for developing goat production and safeguarding human health.
