Posthitis was diagnosed as an economic problem of Angora wether goats. Affected goats had a scabby or ulcerated prepuce, with a distorted or pinhole preputial orifice. Some goats were able to urinate only by excessive straining. Cultural examination revealed a Corynebacterium sp capable of hydrolyzing urea, similar in all respects to the organism associated with a similar problem with Merino wethers in Australia. Necessary predisposing factors are considered to be a castrated animal consuming a high protein diet and infection with the urea-hydrolyzing organism.
阴茎头包皮炎被诊断为安哥拉阉公羊的一个经济问题。患病山羊的包皮有结痂或溃疡，包皮口变形或呈针孔状。一些山羊只能通过过度用力才能排尿。培养检查发现一种能够水解尿素的棒状杆菌，在各方面都与澳大利亚美利奴阉羊类似问题中发现的微生物相似。必要的诱发因素被认为是食用高蛋白日粮的去势动物以及感染了尿素水解微生物。
