Goat husbandry is considered as efficient and rapid way of improving income of lower-middle class as well as landless farmers. The goat rearing requires minimal investment and its rearing is cheaper as compared to other livestock. However, Improper management and diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, protozoa, rickettsia, and viruses can lead farmers to suffer large financial losses. Poor management practices can lead to metabolic problems, lower productivity, and death, resulting in losses. Goats are primarily raised for their meat, milk, dung, wool, and income. In developing nations, goats are owned by households, farmers, and migrant workers. Effective management practices are essential for ensuring optimal animal health in goat production. However, the prevalence of viral diseases and inadequate management practices negatively impact goat productivity. This article aims to identify prevalent bacterial diseases of goats and propose treatment and preventive approaches to control these diseases. It also highlights the importance of understanding the socioeconomic status of farmers and their use of professional measures to avoid goat infections.
