Key words employed were &amp;ldquo;alopecia, caseous lymphadenitis, &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chorioptes&lt;/jats&gt;, dermatitis, dermatophyte, dermatophytosis, goat, lice, louse, mange, mite, pemphigus foliaceus, &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;Psoroptes&lt;/jats&gt;, ringworm, seborrhea, skin&amp;rdquo;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;jats sec=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;jats title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Seventy‐nine (22.1%) of 358 goats presented primarily for skin disease. The Nigerian Dwarf goat breed was at higher risk of developing skin disease (&lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;P&lt;/jats&gt;&amp;thinsp;&amp;lt;&amp;thinsp;0.0002). As goats aged, the odds for developing skin disease was higher [odds ratio (OR)&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;1.07 per year, 95% confidence interval (1.04, 1.12)] as was the predilection for malignant skin tumours (&lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;P&lt;/jats&gt;&amp;thinsp;&amp;lt;&amp;thinsp;0.001). Sex was not associated with skin disease (&lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;P&lt;/jats&gt;&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;0.98). The most common clinical sign was exfoliative dermatitis, noted in 94 (26.4%) of 358 goats. The most common diagnoses were pediculosis, bacterial skin disease and squamous cell carcinoma. Less frequent diagnoses were &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chorioptes&lt;/jats&gt; spp. infestation, contagious ecthyma (orf), coronitis/interdigital dermatitis, demodicosis, dermatophytosis, &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;Psoroptes&lt;/jats&gt; spp. infestation, dermatophilosis and pemphigus foliaceus.&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;jats sec=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;jats title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;jats sec=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;jats title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions and clinical importance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;jats p=&quot;&quot;&gt; Skin diseases are common in goats. Nigerian Dwarf goats and older goats are at greater risk of developing skin disease; Nigerian Dwarf goats had a predilection for malignant skin tumours. Clinicians should include a dermatological examination in goats regardless of the reason for presentation.&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
