Abstract：
Despite major efforts that have been undertaken to improve livestock health and productivity in Jordan, infectious and non-infectious diseases continue to cause significant economic losses.
The objective of this study was to report the most common diseases (infectious and non-infectious) affecting sheep (Ovis aries Linnaeus) and goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) in Jordan.
Data related to sheep and goats presented for clinical evaluation to the Veterinary Health Center of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Jordan University of Science and Technology between January 2015 and December 2021 extracted from the case medical records were used in this study. The data were entered into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and descriptive analysis was performed to report the frequencies, averages, and range values. The data were categorized according to sex (female vs male), body system involved in the disease process, nature of the disease process (infectious vs non-infectious), and age [pre-weaning (less than 2 months of age), 2 months to 1 year, and older than 1 year]. Significant differences between different groups were determined using an independent t-test.
Medical records of 187 goats and 434 sheep were included in the analysis of this study. Females were significantly more represented in the study population for goats and sheep, 87.70% and 84.10%, respectively. The age of animals ranged between 1 day and 9 years in goats and 1 day and 7 years in sheep. In both goats and sheep, a significant number of cases (p ≤ 0.05) were presented with reproductive (28.42% and 29.49%, respectively) and gastrointestinal diseases (20.52% and 25.11%, respectively). In goats, other disease diagnoses were involving the respiratory (10.52%), udder/teat (11.05%), and metabolic systems (10.00%). In sheep, other disease diagnoses were involving multiple systems (8.98%), respiratory (7.60%), metabolic (6.22%), udder/teat (5.99%), and the nervous system (5.06%).
Results of this study provide a list of the most likely differential diagnoses in different age groups of both sexes in goats and sheep in Jordan. This information could be used by veterinarians as well as policymakers in order to formulate and implement appropriate and effective preventive and control measures against common diseases in goats and sheep.

摘要：
联合国：尽管约旦为改善牲畜健康和生产力作出了重大努力，传染病和非传染病继续造成重大的经济损失。
UNASSIGNED：这项研究的目的是报告影响约旦绵羊（OvisariesLinnaeus）和山羊（Capraaegagrushircus）的最常见疾病（传染性和非传染性）。
UNASSIGNED：2015年1月至2021年12月，约旦科技大学兽医学院兽医健康中心提供的与绵羊和山羊相关的数据进行了临床评估，从病例病历中提取。将数据输入MicrosoftExcel电子表格，并进行描述性分析以报告频率，平均值,和范围值。数据按性别分类(女性vs男性)，参与疾病过程的身体系统，疾病过程的性质（传染性与非传染性），和年龄[断奶前(小于2个月)，2个月至1年,年龄超过1岁]。使用独立t检验确定不同组之间的显著差异。
UNASSIGNED：本研究分析包括187只山羊和434只绵羊的医疗记录。在山羊和绵羊的研究人群中，雌性明显更多，87.70%和84.10%，分别。山羊的动物年龄在1天至9岁之间，绵羊的动物年龄在1天和7岁之间。在山羊和绵羊中，大量病例（p≤0.05）出现生殖（28.42％和29.49％，分别）和胃肠道疾病（20.52%和25.11%，分别)。在山羊中，其他疾病诊断涉及呼吸道（10.52%），乳房/乳头（11.05%），和代谢系统（10.00%）。在羊，其他疾病诊断涉及多个系统(8.98%)，呼吸（7.60%），代谢（6.22%），乳房/乳头（5.99%），和神经系统（5.06%）。
UNASSIGNED：这项研究的结果提供了约旦山羊和绵羊中男女不同年龄组最有可能的鉴别诊断。兽医和政策制定者可以使用此信息，以制定和实施针对山羊和绵羊常见疾病的适当有效的预防和控制措施。
