Abstract

Present study was conducted on 37 goats to diagnosed diverse surgical affections using computed radiography. Out of which 16 (43.24 %) were males and 21 (56.76 %) were females. The occurrence of diverse affections was recorded in various regions of the body i.e. head and neck (13.51%), thoraco-abdomen (16.22%), fore limb (40.54%), hind limb (24.32%) and perineum (5.40%). Computed radiography was found suitable to diagnose the various musculoskeletal and soft tissue affections in goats.
