| Summary: | Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the causative agent of small ruminants' caseous
lymphadenitis (CLA) disease. Little is known about the meat quality and safety of goats infected with
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) disease at different chronicity. Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is currently
considered an untreatable disease because of the nature of its encapsulated lesions. Caseous
lymphadenitis has insidious effects on the productivity of an animal. Still, there is little known effect of
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) disease in goats with different chronicities in terms of meat quality and
meat safety. There is a knowledge gap in CLA research; some countries still consume meat from CLAinfected animals, and only visceral organs are removed. The meat from CLA-infected animals is still on
the market and consumed by the public. This fundamental information and knowledge are helpful in
determining the association of CLA disease with meat quality and safety. Therefore, there is a need to
establish fundamental understanding of the effect of Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) disease in goats at
different chronicity on the meat quality and meat safety to obtain the scientific information to
disseminate to the public and owners of the farm and the most important to close the gap of CLA
research in small ruminants. |
