Abstract :

Gross and histophatological changes in cases of caprine pneumonia due to natural infection with Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia haemolytica has been described after sampling collection at 7 districts in kelantan from November 2015 to August 2016. The gross pulmonary lesions diagnosed were almost the same in both seasons, it includes: pulmonary congestion, emphysema, atelectasis, oedema, white material thread like memaneous coveringof partial or complete lung lobes and abscess formation. A distinct gross and microscopical lesions frequently diagnosed in dry season more than in wet season which comprises of fiinous pneumonia at a rates of (32%) and (20%) respectively. The most common inflammatory pulmonary lesions had occurred in the wet season are described histologicaly as interstitial pneumonia (27.5%), onchopneumonia (27.5%), necrotizing pneumonia (10.0%), verminous pneumonia (5.0%), and suppurative onchopneumonia (5.0%). Percentages of affections at the dry season comprises onchopneumonia (28.6%), interstitial pneumonia (17.1%), suppurative onchopneumonia (17.1%), fiinous pneumonia (5.7%), fiinous onchopneumonia (5.7%) and pleuropneumonia (5.7%). It has been concluded that pneumonic pasteurellosis as a disease due to P.multocida and M.haemolytica has become a significant issue in respiratory infection of goats, in both sexes at all ages and in several eeds, specifically, in dry season in Kelantan, with high morbidity of pulmonary (inflammatory and non–inflammatory) lesions.
