Abstract
Coccidiosis is a significant parasitic disease in goats, with significant impacts on animal health, productivity, and economic losses for producers. Although various management practices can help control and prevent coccidiosis, a growing body of research suggests that genetics play an important role in determining resistance to the disease. This review explores the current understanding of the genetics of coccidiosis resistance in goats, including the potential genetic factors and mechanisms involved, and the implications for breeding and selection programs. The review will also discuss current research and future directions in this field, including the use of genomic tools and technologies to better understand the genetics of resistance and to improve breeding programs for coccidiosis resistance in goats. This review will be of interest to veterinary practitioners, goat producers, animal breeders, and researchers working in the field of veterinary parasitology and animal genetics.
