Antimicrobial Resistance in Goat Production Practices
(wiley, 2023) Bhupamani Das; Kruti Debnath Mandal; Abhinav Suthar; Chinmoy Maji
This chapter provides a basic understanding of causes, types, mechanism, consequences, current status, as well as actions to be taken against antimicrobial resistance with special reference to goat production. This knowledge may be helpful to form efficient preventive and control strategies to combat this serious issue. There are very scanty reports on the antimicrobial resistance status in small ruminants, especially in goats. The picture that emerges, although incomplete, allows the reader to assess the current and emerging threats, the distinct issues that influence the evolution of resistance, the main problems caused by resistance, and the potential avenues to tackle at least some of this complex panorama. © 2024 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Infectious abortive diseases: Chlamydiosis
(wiley, 2025) Chinmoy Maji; Kruti Debnath Mandal; Suman Biswas
Chlamydiales order members are intriguing Gram-negative, obligatory intracellular bacteria that divide within eukaryotic hosts and share a distinctive biphasic developmental cycle. The diagnosis of chlamydial infections can therefore be difficult for pathologists, apart from chlamydial abortion in small ruminants like goat and avian chlamydiosis. All members of the Chlamydiaceae family are Gram negative, nonmotile, obligate intracellular bacterial organisms. All of them possess a unique biphasic developmental cycle. The most prominent clinical sign of infection is abortion in goats. However, severe metritis, pneumonia, and keratoconjunctivitis are also recorded in some cases. The clinical picture of abortion with necrotzsing placentitis is sufficient to diagnose chlamydial cause of abortion. Pregnant animals infected in late gestation, but not aborted, may show further abortion in subsequent gestations as they became carriers. Both inactivated and live attenuated vaccines significantly decrease the rate of abortion and shedding of organism. © 2025 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Neurological disturbances
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2025) Chinmoy Maji; Kruti Debnath Mondal; Arkaprabha Shee
Canine ear consists of external pinna, external ear canal, middle ear and inner ear. External ear with its cartilage structure catches the sound while middle ear through its three unique ossicle structures and tympanic membrane transmits the wave to internal ear. The bony labyrinth and associated structures of inner ear along with different nerve innervations in inner and middle ear acts as sensory organ for hearing and balance. The complex nerve structure which passes part of its course through middle or internal ear structures also innervates the surrounding facial, lip, ear, nose, eye, neck regions. Thus, a little obstacle or infection (otitis media or interna) in middle or inner ear affects the nerve function and creates different muscular or nueurogenic abnormality presented through different clinical symptoms. Among various canine ear problems, the most common vestibular diseases (peripheral and central), namely horner's syndrome, hemifacial spasm, deafness, facial nerve paralysis are discussed briefly in this chapter. © 2025 Bentham Science Publishers.
