Introduction :

Inflammation of the uterus in goats, also known as Metritis or commonly known as Uterine Infection, is a life-threatening condition that is an inflammation of the lining of the uterus that often occurs in goats after childbirth. And if not treated in time, the goat will not be able to give birth again and may die of a serious illness.

Reasons:

- Premature birth or abortion of a goat.

- Do not drop the semen completely after the birth of children.

- Trapping and pulling the baby out during birth.

- Chasing a goat in the last month of pregnancy which is also called (prolapse) due to the germs reaching the uterus etc.

Rescue:

- Feeding the Gabban goat well during pregnancy so that it does not become weak and can easily give birth.

- Keep the goat's living space clean to prevent germs.

- Protecting the goat's pregnancy so that it does not drop prematurely.

- If the goat needs help at birth, use a disinfectant solution to prevent germs from entering the goat.
