Abstract

Although dairy goat kids are at risk of morbidity and mortality during the pre–weaning period, a standardized scoring system to screen for and detect disease is lacking. Our objective was to develop and validate a Goat Kid Health Scoring System (GKHSS) as a screening and diagnostic tool in pre–weaned goat kids on a commercial goat dairy.
