: To describe a goats' eye training model for teaching of trabeculectomy and releasable suture techniques for Ophthalmology residents. : A descriptive report explaining the methodology for setting up a goats' eye wet-lab model for teaching trabeculectomy for Ophthalmology residents. It details the approaches to eyeball preparation, steps of surgery, application and release of two representative types of 'releasable sutures' in a step-by-step manner. : A systematic approach using goats' eye model to teach trabeculectomy and releasable suture techniques can enhance residents' understanding, confidence and expertise to operate upon human eyes.

Investigation of the presence of Chlamydia spp., Mycoplasma spp. and Moraxella ovis in infectious keratoconjunctivitis cases in sheep and goats in Siirt province and evaluation of clinical findings.

Infectious keratoconjunctivitis is an infectious disease that negatively affects animal welfare causing systemic or local clinical signs in small ruminants and causes significant economic losses in herds. It is important to determine the etiologic agent causing the infection in the development of the protection and control strategies against the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of infectious keratoconjunctivitis cases in small ruminants raised in Siirt province in Türkiye.

The additive, existing in a not-coated and a coated form, is currently authorised for use in feed for calves, cattle for fattening, dairy cows, dairy goats and dairy sheep, lambs, all minor ruminant species for fattening and rearing, horses and camelids for fattening and rearing. This application regards the request for the extension of use in all ruminants and camelids reared for milk production/suckling/reproduction, all minor (young) ruminant species and camelids for fattening and Equidae other than horses, and the modification of the authorisation for lambs to reduce the minimum use level.

Introduction: The Hainan Dong goat (DG) is a local meat breed widely raised in Hainan, China because of its good adaptability to local hot and humid weather. However, the growth rate of these DG is much slower than that of commercialised breeds improved in European countries, resulting in poor carcase characteristics, including smaller slaughter weight and carcase weight, which have become increasingly prominent. In recent decades, Nubian goats have been continuously imported into China to improve the production performance of local breeds.

Article Synopsis
- Water salinity negatively impacts the quality of carcass and meat in sheep and goats, especially under climate change conditions in arid regions of Ethiopia.
- The study involved 100 male sheep and goats, and tested various levels of saline water against natural water, showing that higher salinity reduced body weight and meat quality indicators.
- Results indicated that both species and age affected the outcomes, with mature sheep faring better than growing goats when consuming saline water.
Morphological comparison of astrocytes in the lamina cribrosa and glial lamina.

Purpose: Although the mechanisms underlying glaucomatous neurodegeneration are not yet well understood, cellular and small animal models suggest that LC astrocytes undergo early morphologic and functional changes, indicating their role as early responders to glaucomatous stress. These models, however, lack the LC found in larger animals and humans, leaving the morphology of LC astrocytes and their role in glaucoma initiation underexplored. In this work, we aimed to characterize the morphology of LC astrocytes and determine differences and similarities with astrocytes in the mouse glial lamina (GL), the analogous structure in a prominent glaucoma model.
