[Analysis and prevention of reproductive cycle disorders in goats in a semi-arid region in northeast Brazil].
An ecopathology survey was conducted in order to define the risk factors for abortion in traditionally raised goats in north-eastern Brazil. The survey showed a sequence of disorders in the reproductive cycle. A detailed analysis of this cycle produced useful elements to define prevention measures. The objective is to create, through changes in the reproductive cycle, a better balance between demand in the kidding period and the seasonal forage supply. Kidding management measures may also reduce kid mortality rates.
