Goat Medicine, Third Edition. Mary C.
Smith and David M. Sherman. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Published 2023 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.It is beyond the scope of this book to consider in detail reproductive physiology, estrus synchronization, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and other topics more closely related to herd management than to disease. These facets of caprine reproduction have been discussed in various theriogenology textbooks (Morrow 1986; Youngquist and Threlfall 2007) and elsewhere (Evans and Maxwell 1987; Kraemer 1989; Haibel 1990a; Amoah and Gelaye 1990, 1991; Chemineau et al. 1991; Ishwar and Memon 1996; Gordon 1997; Cognie 1999; Bretzlaff and Romano 2001; Rubianes and Menchaca 2003; Cseh et al. 2012).
Instead, this chapter attempts to provide the basic information needed by the veterinary practitioner. Guidelines for handling infertility, abortions, and obstetric problems are included. Additional illustrations of many of the conditions discussed in this chapter are available through the Visual Guide to Caprine Reproduction on the internet (Drost 2019).
