A Review of Infectious and Non‐Infectious Causes of Pregnancy Loss in Goats

ABSTRACT Goats play a vital role in global agriculture, particularly in developing regions, and are increasingly kept as companion animals. Given their economic and social importance, pregnancy losses in goats represent a substantial challenge, leading to considerable economic losses and raising concerns about animal welfare and public health, as some etiological agents are zoonotic. Understanding both infectious and non‐infectious causes of pregnancy loss in goats is therefore essential for effective prevention and management. However, to date, no scoping review has systematically mapped the existing literature or identified current knowledge gaps. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the available evidence on the causes of pregnancy loss in goats and to propose directions for future research.
