Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis (CAE) is a viral disease that primarily affects goats. It is caused by a retrovirus that can lead to chronic arthritis and inflammation of the brain. Infected goats may show symptoms such as lameness, swelling in the joints, and neurological issues, which can impact their overall health and productivity. The virus is typically transmitted through milk, colostrum, or direct contact with infected animals. There is no cure for CAE, but management strategies include culling infected animals and practicing good herd management to prevent the spread of the virus. Regular testing can help identify and control outbreaks.
