| Abstract | ||
| Clinical , radiographic , biochemical and pathologic features of osteodystrophia fibrosa were described in nine native Egyptian goats of different 4tY calcium deficiency due to prolonged feeding ages (1/2-3 years) . Affected goats were presented to the Surgery Clinic, Faculty of veterinary Medicine , Cairo University . The affected animals were suffering mainly from being off-food together with a visible bilateral , soft , nonpainful swelling of the maxilla and /or mandible . Radiography revealed generalised loss of marked bilateral soft swelling of bones of the face bone density involving both cortical and cancellous bone tissue , with thin cortices . Widespread areas of rarefaction particularly in the mandible Serum biochemical evaluation showed increased alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , asparatate aminotransferase (AST), urea and creatinine with low calcium and phosphorus levels . Osteodystrophia fibrosa was confirmed histologically | ||
