Two hundred twenty farms were investigated, and 49 herds were found to have clinical reproductive disorders. Moreover, 96% (47\/49) of herds showing clinical reproductive failure preferred to circulate bucks between herds. A total of 118 sera, including 85 clinical reproductive disorder cases such as abortion (n\u2009=\u200970), abortion with arthritis (n\u2009=\u20091), orchitis (n\u2009=\u20093), repeat breeder (n\u2009=\u20096), sterile (n\u2009=\u20091), and weak kids (n\u2009=\u20094), and 33 bucks\u2019 circulations were serologically tested for bacterial infections caused by Coxiella burnetii, Chlamydophila abortus, and Brucella spp. Results showed 69% (81\/118 cases) were seropositive for Q fever (n\u2009=\u200955; 46.61%), brucellosis (n\u2009=\u20098; 6.78), and chlamydiosis (n\u2009=\u200918; 15.25%), respectively; 82% of herds (40\/49 herds) were infected with at least one of those diseases. Moreover, 40% of infected herds (16\/40) had coinfection among the three of those diseases. Approximately 60% (20\/33) of buck circulation showed seropositivity to at least one of the diseases, and 85% of infected bucks were seropositive for Q fever (17\/20). Buck circulation between herds is a risk factor for diseases on farms (<jats:inline-formula><a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><a:mi>p<\/a:mi><a:mo>=<\/a:mo><a:mn>0.001<\/a:mn><\/a:math><\/jats:inline-formula>); odds ratio (OR\u2009=\u2009109.29; 95% confidence interval (CI)\u2009=\u20096.61\u20131,807.38). Moreover, the annual brucellosis test is a protective factor against reproductive failure cases on farms (<jats:inline-formula><c:math xmlns:c=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><c:mi>p<\/c:mi><c:mo>=<\/c:mo><c:mn>0.022<\/c:mn><\/c:math><\/jats:inline-formula>; OR\u2009=\u20090.45; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.23\u20130.89). Reproductive disorder cases can be caused by sexual transmission, so buck circulation can yield Q fever, brucellosis, and chlamydiosis in communities. This investigation is the first report of chlamydiosis infection in our area. Concerning Q fever, chlamydiosis, and brucellosis are zoonotic diseases that impact animal health and production losses. Control and prevention measures related to risk factors together with active surveillance programs should be incorporated into client education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/1877317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,8]],"date-time":"2022-02-08T16:57:52Z","timestamp":1644339472000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Clinical Evidence and Risk Factors for Reproductive Disorders Caused by Bacterial Infections in Meat Goats in Northeastern Thailand"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1572-4389","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sarinya","family":"Rerkyusuke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Livestock Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand"},{"name":"Research Group of Animal Health Technology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2287-1195","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sawarin","family":"Lerk-u-suke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geographic Information Science, School of Information and Communication Technology, University of Phayao, Phayao 56000, Thailand"},{"name":"Research Unit of Spatial Innovation Development, School of Information and Communication Technology, University of Phayao, Phayao 56000, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3572-356X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Anucha","family":"Sirimalaisuwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Bioscience and Veterinary Public Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50100, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1002\/9780813818825","volume-title":"Goat Medicine","author":"M.
