Abstract

Mammary tumors are relatively common in dairy goats, negatively impacting production and farmers' economies. Irreversible loss of respective udder reduces milk yield or culling of the animals. In a current case report, A Beetal goat was presented at the UVAS surgery clinic with a udder tumor. After confirmation, a partial mastectomy was performed under general anesthesia and aseptic surgery. The neoplastic growth was resected, and surgery was completed. The overall health status of the animals was improved with an increase in milk yield during post-operative care and a follow-up period of 30 days. The surgical removal of udder tumor could be useful in small ruminants to restore udder health and milk production.
