Abstract: In the current study, 1248 goat liver samples from different age groups, sexes, and breeds were evaluated in Bikaner. 216 liver samples from these 1248 specimens that were thought to have abnormalities were further processed for histological analysis. 17.3% was found to be the overall incidence of several clinical diseases. Out of the 216 hepatic lesions evaluated in the current investigation, hydatidosis was found in 6 total livers with an incidence of 2.77 percent. Grossly, the centre of the liver is home to a single, variable-sized hydatid cyst. For research on serum protein estimation 10 serum samples from healthy goats were obtained as the control group, and 57 serum samples from goats with various hepatic lesions were collected. Of these affected samples, 4 serum samples from goats with hydatidosis were included in this study. The value of total protein and albumin was highly significant (p<0.01) lower in hydatidosis-affected animals compared to the healthy control group of goats. While there was a non-significant drop (p<0.01) in globulin in the hydatidosis group compared to the liver of the healthy animal control group.
