Oesophageal fistulation of boer goats and angora goat

Abstract

Although oesophageal fistulation of sheep and cattle is common practice, little information is available on the fistulation of Boer goats and Angora goats and its effect on their behaviour. Further, information is scant on the use of fistulated goats in sampling bushveld.
