The objectives of this study were to determine the main causes of mortality, with a special focus on caseous lymphadenits as a cause of death or wasting in caprine herds from Quebec. Goats (n = 152) from 13 herds were submitted for necropsy; the cause of mortality, and the presence, location, and cause of abscesses (if present) were recorded. Proportional mortalities were distributed as: Clostridium perfringens type D enterotoxemia (17.1%), pneumonia (13.8%), paratuberculosis (10.5%), listeriosis (6.6%), pregnancy toxemia (5.3%), caprine arthritis-encephalitis (4.6%), and caseous lymphadenitis (3.9%). Caseous lymphadenitis was diagnosed in 24.3% of the submitted goats, but was not a major cause of wasting or mortality. Abscesses were localized internally in 54.1% of the cases. Paratuberculosis was diagnosed in 29 goats (16 as cause of death) and was considered a major cause of wasting and/or mortality.
本研究的目的是确定死亡的主要原因，特别关注干酪性淋巴结炎作为魁北克山羊群死亡或消瘦的一个原因。来自13个羊群的152只山羊被送去进行尸检；记录了死亡原因以及脓肿（如果存在）的存在情况、位置和病因。比例死亡率分布如下：D型产气荚膜梭菌肠毒血症（17.1%）、肺炎（13.8%）、副结核病（10.5%）、李斯特菌病（6.6%）、妊娠毒血症（5.3%）、山羊关节炎-脑炎（4.6%）和干酪性淋巴结炎（3.9%）。在送检的山羊中，24.3%被诊断为干酪性淋巴结炎，但它不是消瘦或死亡的主要原因。54.1%的病例中脓肿位于体内。29只山羊被诊断为副结核病（16只作为死亡原因），被认为是消瘦和/或死亡的主要原因。
