Abstract
In this study twenty Boer goats (10 with pneumonia and 10 apparently healthy) were selected from 150 Boer goats, recently trancsported from the Upper Egypt to Moshtohor farm. Nasal swabs and trans-tracheal aspiration were taken for bacteriological examination as well as whole blood and serum samples were collected for evaluation of pulmonary function tests, hematological and biochemical alterations in pneumonic Boer goats compared with apparently healthy ones. Bacteriological examination and PCR of nasal swabs and trans-tracheal aspiration revealed klebsiella pneumonia. The results revealed that, significant (P
