Abstract

On Thursday, 16th June, 2011 a two months old male Kano brown goat was presented to the Niger State Veterinary Hospital, Bosso-Minna with multiple facial abnormalities. History revealed that the flock did not have antecedents of malfor- mations or apparent reasons that induced the abnormalities. Pheno- typical examination revealed that the goat could have been under the influence of some teratogen or complex genetic effects during its early development. This communi- cation presents a case of unilateral anophthalmia(cyclopia), which is the absence of one eye and choanal atresia, a partial or total blockageof nostrils by internal membrane were both found in the newborn male goat. In this case, specific etiologi- cal agent could not be attributed; the malformations may be caused by varying amount of genetic influ- ences, environmental conditions or interactions between make-up and environment. The main infectious agents, teratogenic plants, para- sites, and drugs were considered as possible causes; because the dam was on extensive management sys- tem during pregnancy.
