-This study included 75 Damascus and its crossbreed goats from different age and sexes in the Hatay province.
Following the history, all the animals were subjected to clinical, ultrasonographic and biochemical examinations. Thc clinical signs
were generally norınaL. Ultrasonographically, parenchymal lesions in 17, biliary system abnorınalities in 8 and both biliary and parenchymal abnormalities in 23 animals were detected. In these 48 goats with hepatic lesions; 26 parenchyma! hyperechogenicity, ı7
cysts and iO masses of parenchyma, and 25 wall thickenings, 3 foldings and 3 sediments of gallbladder were observed alone or together. LDH levels in goats with and without hepatic lesions were higher than norınal refercnce range, whereas ALT. ALP. AST,
001'. BUN, TP, CB. CHO, albumine and glucose concentrations were in normal referencc ranges. In this study. it is concluded that
Iesions could be observed ultrasonographically before clinical signs and biochemical abnormalities manifes\.
