Abstract :
Hepatic abscesses have a major economic impact on the stock-breeding industry because of liver condemnation and reduced animal performance and carcass yield. This research was aimed to determine occurrence and bacterial causes of hepatic abscesses of goats slaughtered at Urmia abattoir. Post-mortem examination of 1200 goats (680male, 520 female) showed that 6 (0.5%) exhibited hepatic abscesses. Three (0.58%) abscesses were found in female and 3(0.44%) abscesses were found in male. Most of the abscesses were found in the right lobes (50%) and in diaphragmatic surfaces (50%) of livers. Regarding the presence of abscesses, there was no significant difference between sexes, lobes and surfaces of livers (p>0.05). The abscesses were cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The following six species of bacteria were identified: Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (3 cases), Arcanobacterium pyogenes (2 cases), Escherichia coli (2 cases), Fusobacterium necrophorum (1case), streptococcus spp. (1case), Pseudomonas spp. (1case).The result of this study showed that C. Pseudotuberculosis, the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis, is the most important cause of hepatic abscesses in goats in Urmia. In the present study F. necrophorum is reported for first time from goat hepatic abscesses.
