Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of Q fever in Saanen dairy goats in Malaysia, focusing on how age and gender affect infection rates.
- Out of 100 goats sampled, 70% tested positive for Q fever, with older goats (5-6 years) showing the highest rates, and males having a significantly higher infection rate than females.
- The findings emphasize the need for biosecurity and control strategies to manage Q fever within dairy goat populations, enhancing understanding of its epidemiology.
Objective: There are three objectives in this study; 1) to measure the live weight of pre-and post-weaning Saanen kids; 2) to determine the growth curves between males and females pre-and post-weaning Saanen kids; and 3) to analyze the body condition score (BCS) between male and female pre-and post-weaning kids.
Materials And Methods: This study included pre-weaning kids aged 1 month, as well as post-weaning kids aged 3-6 months. 10 pre-weaning purebred Saanen kids ( = 5 male and = 5 female) and 20 post-weaning Saanen kids ( = 10 male and = 10 female) were employed in this investigation.
