Abstract
The present study was carried out on 158 representative samples of goat kidneys identified with various types of degenerative changes and cast formation on histopathological examination. The occurrence of various pathological conditions in kidneys observed individually in Udaipur, Dungarpur, Chittorgarh and Rajsamand were 9.97% (46/461), 8.60% (34/395), 9.11% (40/439) and 8.83% (38/430), respectively. Out of 158 samples, 18 were cases of cast formation in kidney tubules and glomerulus of goats. The necropsy examination revealed pale, swollen, enlarged, dull and numerous tiny structures on the surface of the cortex. Microscopically, kidney showed the nodules of amyloid gradually developed in glomeruli and basal membrane of the tubules. In some cases, glomeruli loops were swollen and converted into hyaline balls which were pink and eosinophilic. In some areas of the kidney, tubules and glomeruli showed lymphocytic infiltration, atrophy, dilation, glomerular atrophy and glomerulosclerosis were observed.
