Abstract

The study was carried out in 35 Black Bengal goats (29 females and 6 males) affected with coenurus
cerebralis (Gid disease). The occurrence of Gid disease was more frequent in the females (82.86%),
also among females pregnant does were found to be more vulnerable (65.52%). The disease
predominantly occurred (51.4%) in the animals between 1-2 years of age. All the affected goats were
found to be emaciated and listless. The disease was more common in the rainy season compared to
other seasons. In Gid diseased goats rectal temperature decreased significantly (P<0.05) while the
pulse rate and respiration rates underwent no significant changes. After surgery (1 and/ or 2 weeks),
hemoglobin (Hbgm %), packed cell volume (PCV %) and total erythrocyte count (TEC
million/cumm) all increased significantly (P<0.01) compared to presurgical values. In contrast, total
leukocytes counts (TLC thousands/cumm) decreased significantly (P<0.01) compared to presurgical
values. All the goats were recovered completely after surgical operation. It is suggested that a better
nutrition must be provided after surgical removal of the cyst in order to improve animal body
condition.
