Rajiv Gandhi

Small ruminants are significant and fundamental to the cattle sector in India. Goats are especially intriguing to Indians because of their ability to overcome challenges, their adaptability to different ecological regions, and the fact that they require little initial investment and minimal space for production. India has a large number of goats, but for a variety of reasons, they don't produce as much as is needed. The primary factors limiting the economic returns of goats are diseases. In India, TB is one illness that affects the health and productivity of goats. The chronic condition goat TB, from which the mycobacteria are discharged and infect other susceptible animals, is characterised by the development of granulomas, particularly in the respiratory tract and accompanying lymph nodes, Goat tuberculosis has an effect on public health in India since farmers there have a custom of consuming raw goat milk and its derivatives as well as having frequent or daily contact with their goats.
