Abstract :Objective: The study was conducted to determine the occurrence and distribution patterns of diseases in goat during the period of January 2018 to December 2018. Materials and Methods: A total of 452 goats were recorded during the study period. The diseases were diagnosed based on clinical signs, owners complain and laboratory findings. The prevalence was measured according to season and age of the goats which were studied. Statistical analysis was done by Chi-square test and P-value was calculated by using SPSS 25 for windows insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL);. Results: Prevalence of worm infestation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31.42%); was highest compared to PPR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(13.72%);, miscellaneous insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12.16%);, pneumonia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.18%);, dermatitis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.20%);, enteritis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.76%);, Urolithiasis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.09%);, bloat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.65%);, mastitis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.55%);, tetanus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.11%); and protozoal diseases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.44%);. Rainy season represented the highest insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(86.11%); prevalence of goat diseases followed by winter season insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(82.85%); and summer season insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(82.44%);. PPR was significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 24 months); age groups with 21.64%, 45.06%, and 32.20% respectively. Prevalence of mastitis was lowest in 0-12 months insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.43%); and 13-24 months insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.62%); age group but the prevalence of tetanus was lowest in above 24 months insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.69%); age group. Conclusions: These findings will help to know about age-wise and season wise variation of different diseases of goat in this area and will help to execute proper preventive measures against those diseases.
