dc.description.abstractA study was conducted to explore various causes of mortality and to quantify the economic losses due to adult and kid mortality among goat farms in Cauvery Delta zone of Tamil Nadu. The primary data on mortality of goats and their causes were collected through personal interview using the pretested interview schedules from 180 goat farmers in the study area. Direct and indirect losses due to mortality of goats and kids were estimated based on the valuation of animals died and opportunity cost viz., cost of additional feeding, management and treatment cost. Diseases like pneumonia, tetanus and diarrhoea were the major contributors to the mortality in adult goats and kids (46.51 and 50.75%, respectively). The annual loss due to mortality of adults worked out to Rs.2016.94/farm and Rs.271.45/animal and for kids as Rs.578.88/farm and Rs.77.90/kid. It was inferred that sensitization programmes on kid management and doorstep veterinary services could address the major reasons of adult and kid mortality, thereby reducing the economic losses due to mortality.en_US
