AnimationsLearn about anatomy, reproduction and see the life cycle of some parasites that affect goats in simple to understand animations.These animations are included in the Biology of the Goat CD
Anatomy of the Goat Reproduction in the Goat  The migration of sperm in the doe's reproductive tract is only a brief sample of the information on reproduction in the goat. The CD continues with the reproductive anatomy of the buck and doe, description of the estrus cycle, hormonal interactions and development of the fetus.A handy gestation calculator (available as a free download) is useful to determine the birthdate of kids.  Another sample animation from the reproduction section explains how in the process of meiosis, chromosomes including the X and Y chromosomes are inherited.Life Cycles of Parasites that Infect Goats
 The life cycle of the tapeworm Moniezia expansa requires an intermediate host to continue its development and before it can infect the goat. Haemonchus contortus, a stomach worm that infects goats and sheep can cause fatal anemia. Understanding the life cycle can help with control of this parasite.Digestion in the Goat
A simple fungi of the genus Neocallismastix has adapted to live only in the rumen. This animation describes its life cycle. |
