SYMPTOMS OF TUBERCULOSIS IN SHEEP AND GOATS.
The tubercles have been usually found post mortem in these animals or as the result of experimental inoculation, and symptoms have not been well recorded. They follow the same order as in the ox, weak husky cough, wheezing and other râles in the lungs, disorders of the digestive organs, swollen lymph nodes and glands, and caseated products in those that were of some standing. I have found these latter especially, in the region of the throat in high bred rams kept in confined buildings or yards and highly fed to prepare for letting or sale. These lose in vigor and activity and scrofulous swellings form on the neck, head or elsewhere and become rapidly caseated. In German abattoirs tuberculous sheep proved 0.1 to 0.15 per cent. In Saxon goats the percentage was 0.6.
