Description A retrospective study was conducted on 142 male goats suffering from obstructive urolithiasis to identify common microbes responsible for urinary tract infections and their effect on urinary pH and crystalluria. Culture and isolation of the urine samples were performed in 72 cases, which showed UTI in 69.44% cases with microbes like Escherichia coli, Alkigenes faecalis and Pseudomonas, to be the most common. The isolated microbes showed high sensitivity for ciprofloxacin and piperacillin. Positive correlation was recorded between urinary pH and urinary tract infection suggesting that urinary tract infection may lead to alkalization of urine. Urine pH affected the type of crystalluria and suggested that alkaline pH of urine may favour struvite calculi formation in goats. It was concluded that urinary tract infection may be an important factor in the formation of urinary stones in goats and should be given due consideration while planning preventive and control measures for urolithiasis in goats.
