Hello,
I keep 14 goats in my farm and of late I have been losing them from a strange disease. So far I have lost 3 animals. The animals gradually grow weak, cannot stand but continue feeding normally as they lie down. Then they die. This one died two days ago. What could be the problem?

· 1 months agoThe goats could be suffering from calcium deficiency. Ensure that they get enough calcium and other minerals. Livestock that are fed on mainly hay have a tendency to lack calcium -

· 1 months agoThis is sad. How do you feed them? Any signs of infection? I can see there is some kind of oedema on the neck

· 1 months agoNo obvious signs though the neck was a bit swollen. The other two died with twisted necks. I feed them hay most of the time and occasionally release them to the fields to browse, and sometimes give them maize grains.
