- HOOF ROT, HOOF SCALD, AND HOOF ABSCESSES. Hoof diseases in goats are a health problem as well as an economic liability, because a goat that has lost its ability to stand, walk, and forage is not a productive animal.Leg tendons begin to contract within 24 hours on a goat that is 'down' and cannot get up, making a bad situation even worse.ertain dietary conditions can predispose goats to conditions which can lead to hoof diseases. Zinc deficiency can result in swollen and/or deformed hooves and can cause lesions or cracks which provide a route for bacteria to enter the hoof. Zinc is essential to protein synthesis and cell division.

- Goats as a species are very susceptible to internal parasites, especially stomach worms. In parts of the United States that are warm and wet, the stomach worm to be concerned about is Haemonchus contortus, also known as the Barberpole worm. This worm feeds on blood; if untreated, it causes anemia and death.f goats are forced to graze grasses like cattle and sheep, they will ingest stomach worms. Goats have the fastest metabolisms of all ruminants (except deer) and are picky eaters; they like the newest, tenderest, and most most nutritious plant materials -- the ones growing closest to the ground where the worms are.
