Description This case report documents a one-month-old goat kid with goitre, presented with visible neck swelling, weakness, and a coarse hair coat. Diagnostic ultrasound revealed an enlarged, heterogenous, and hypoechogenic thyroid gland. Treatment involved oral levothyroxine sodium to kid, tinctureiodine application and dietary iodized salt for doe. The successful outcome highlights the importance of prompt identification and intervention in cases of goitre, particularly in regions prone to iodine deficiency, emphasizing the need for preventive measures to ensure overall goat health.
