An outbreak of pasteurellosis in goats was
investigated at an organized goat farm from Nimar
region of Madhya Pradesh. The farm visited to
investigate the cause of deaths in goats which exhibited
the signs like dullness, lethargy, high fever, dyspnea and
profuse salivation and death. Post-mortem examination
revealed lesions like haemorrhagic tracheitis, lung
emphysema, pin point haemorrhages on myocardial
surface, congestion in abomasum, small intestine with
pin point haemorrhages, oedematous mesenteric lymph
nodes and friable liver. Blood smear examination of
morbid goats revealed presence of Pasteurella
multocida. Hence, therapeutic management with
oxytetracycline resulted in recovery of infected animals
