Abstract

In an outbreak of keratoconjunctivitis in goats, Mycoplasma myocoides was isolated. The condition was recorded bilaterally in 28 cases with a morbidity rate about 22% (28 cases out of 127). The newly weaned kids are severely and mostly affected than the adult goats (23 cases and 5 cases, respectively). Tylosin administration for treatment of the affected cases seems to shorten greatly the course of the disease.
