ABSTRACT

The fetal membranes are removed from around its mouth and if obviously viable, the kid is best placed next to the dam's head to facilitate quick bonding. There are a number of possible reasons why vigour and normal adaptation may be suboptimal in a newborn kid: Injuries and trauma related to the kidding process, Anoxia associated with a prolonged birth or premature placental separation and Swollen head and tongue associated with prolonged birth. Beta-mannosidosis is an inherited lysosomal disease of Anglo-Nubian goats, leading to oligosaccharide accumulation in brain and kidney because of a deficiency in beta-mannosidase. Congenital swayback is one of the more common abnormalities associated with specific mineral shortfalls during critical stages of fetal development. Remove membranes and amniotic fluid from upper airways by manual removal or suction. For treatment and prognosis, liver and kidney function biochemistry is useful, as are blood acid–base balance and lactate levels.
