| More Details: | Abstract Hemorrhagic abomasitis, also known as Salivary Abomasum Disease (SAD), is a largely under-researched condition affecting young lambs and kids, often leading to high mortality rates and significant economic losses. The disease’s etiopathogenesis, risk factors, and clinical features remain poorly understood. Existing studies have been limited and fragmented, leading to misdiagnoses and confusion about its true nature. Given the lack of a comprehensive investigation into SAD’s incidence, risk factors, and causative agents, this study aims to provide a thorough analysis through clinical, necropsy, histopathological, microbiological, and molecular examinations. This study involved 633 kids, with 323 in the SAD group and 310 in the control group. A multifaceted approach was utilized, encompassing clinical evaluations, necropsies, histopathological assessments, risk factors, and microbiological and molecular analyses, focusing on investigating virulence genes. During the kidding season, 323 deaths were linked to SAD, with a mean disease duration of 1.34 ± 0.54 days. The highest incidence occurred in the 8–14 day age group, accounting for 51.7% of cases (p |
