Brucellosis is the most important bacterial disease of livestock in Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis in goat and sheep in Mymensingh and Bogra districts of Bangladesh using slow agglutination test and Rose Bengal test as screening test and indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay as confirmatory test. Questionnaire based data on age, gender, area, client's complaint, number of animals in herds, disease history, reproductive problems such as abnormal uterine discharge, abortion or previous abortion in sheep and goat and their reproductive diseases were recorded. A total of 200 sera samples were collected from 80 sheep and 120 goats. The prevalence of brucellosis in goat was 2.50% and 1.25% in sheep. Positive reactors were only detected in female of both goat and sheep. In this study, there existed a significant association among abortion and the prevalence of brucellosis (p < 0.01). The prevalence of brucellosis in sheep and goat in Bangladesh is not negligible, and it is therefore worth considering the adoption of preventive measures.

This study was conducted to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) for the determination of cooked goat meat. Muscle proteins were extracted from goat meat by heating at $98^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Major thermostable(TS) protein, whose size and pI are 36 and 38 kDa and 4.5 respectively, were purified by DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. The TS protein was immunized into rabbits in order to produce goat specific antibodies. Competitive indirect ELISA(ciELISA) was established by using the anti-TS antibody. The antibody showed high reactivity toward the TS antigen and the boiled goat meat extract but it did not show any reactivities toward extracts of boiled chicken, pork, lamb, and beef. Thus, this ciELISA developed in this study could be applicable to identify goat species from cooked meat.

In order to investigate any differences of the characteristics of goat milk according to seasons and individual farms, we analysed and compared the components of fat, protein lactose, total solid, solid-not fat (SNF) and cells of goat milk collected from 8 individual farms between December 2006 and June 2007. Milk fat content has shown higher values in December to March than in other seasons, and SNF appeared especially higher in February. However, lactose content was not different according to seasons. Regional differences of milk components were not big at all either. Milk components from goats were in general similar to cow milk except a little lower fat content, but appeared higher than mare milk. Production of goat milk is in difficulty in aspects of balancing demand and supply due to its seasonal reproductive system. For the future of goat milk industry, it is necessary to develop various products of longer storage life.

The anthelmintic efficiency of Albendazole(Valbazen bolus) at a dose rate of 10 mg/kg of body weight was tested in naturally infected Korean native goat (Black goat) against Fasciola hepatica, Paramphistomum sp., Eurytrema pancreaticum and Moniezia expansa.

A postpartum total uterine prolapse in a 2-years old Korean black goat was presented. This paper reports the clinical management of the case. The everted uterus was carefully assessed and gross debris were gently removed and disinfected with dilute povidone iodine solution. The prolapsed uterus was replaced with epidural anesthesia and retention suture was placed on the vulva. Broad spectrum antibiotics, calcium gluconate, and supportive therapy were administered. The patient made complete recovery.

Pancreatic endocrine cells of the native Korean goat were investigated immunocytochemically at electron microscopic level. All glucagon-, insulin-, somatostatin- and pancreatic polypeptide(PP)-immunoreactive cells were showed chromogranin(CG) immunoreactivity in the secretory granules of each cells. In addition, bovine pancreatic polypeptide immunoreactivity was found to be colocalized in the secretory granules of the glucagon and insulin cells. These observations support that chromogranin is available as the marker of pancreatic endocrine cells on the native Korean goat and BPP colocalized in the secretory granules of glucagon and insulin cells.

This study was carried out to investigate the origin, insertion, direction of muscle fibers and structure of the ear muscles of the Korean native goat. The description was based on the dissection of fifteen the Korean native goats with embalming fluid. The results were as follows: 1. The ear muscles of the Korean native goat were composed of the M. zygomaticoauricularis, M. scutuloauricularis superficialis, M. scutuloauricularis profundus, M. frontoscutularis, M. interscutularis, M. parietoauricularis, M. cervicoscutularis, M. cervicoauricularis superficialis, M. cervicoauricularis medius, M. cervicoauricularis profundus, M. auricularis profundus posterior and M. parotidoauricularis. 2. The M. frontoscutularis clearly seperated into temporal and frontal parts in 6 cases. 3. The M. scutuloauricularis profundus clearly separated into major and minor parts. 4. The M. zygomaticoauricularis blended with the M. parotidoauricularis near its insertion, but not with the M. scutuloauricularis.

In order to investigate the spermiogenesis of the Korean goat, the tissue obtained from the testis and the epididymis of eight matured bucks were conventionary prepared as thin sections and these sections were observed under a transmission electron microscope. Based on the development of the varous permanent organelles and certain transient structures, the spermiogenesis of the Korean goat could be divided into four main phases: Golgi, cap, acrosome and maturation; and these phases had been further subdivided into a total of nine stages. There was abundance of the contents of acrosomal vesicle contained ring-shaped material surrounding the acrosome in the early cap stage. The mitochondria made the mitochondrial sheath started from the annulus towarding the neck and formed helical arrangement in the mid maturation stage, The postacrosomal denselamina was a, pp.ared to be wave-shape in the late maturation stage. The spermiogenesis of the Korean goat was found to be basically similar to that of the Korean cattle.

A total of 576 fatteners selected randomly from 6 Korean native goat farms in Chonnam area were examined for louse infestation from March 1997 to February 1998. The lice collected from the goats were identified. Four goat farms were selected and 20 goats were randomly chosen from each farm; blood samples were taken from the goats seasonally and examined hematologically and chemically. It was found that 495 out of 576 goats (85.9%) were infested with lice. The infestation rate in one of the 6 farms reached 92.9%. Two species of lice were identified; Linognathus sp. (sucking lice) and Bovicola sp. (biting lice). Goats infested with lice showed higher values in white blood cell, neutrophil and eosinophil counts than the goats not infested counterparts; same trend was seen with total protein, albumin and globulin concentrations. The results of this study indicate that louse infestation in the goat should be investigated extensively in view of the goat farming.

This study was carried out to observe the differences of bony pelvis between male and female Korean native goat by the pelvimetry. The results represented that the middle transverse diameter(1:1.35), ventral transverse diameter(1:1.12), transverse diameter of pelvic outlet(1:1.22), right oblique diameter(1:1.09), the width between ruber ischii(1:1.15) and width of pubis(1:1.11) were shown significant differences(p<0.01) between male and female Korean native goat.
