- Udder is one of the most important organs of bovine as it is directly related to productivity and the farmer's economy. The udder and teat affections may not be life threatening to the animal but may affect its productive life. The study was conducted from October 2017 to October 2019 in different farms belonging to Public authority for agriculture affairs and fish resources - Kuwait City, Kuwait. In this study we recorded 84 cases of udder and teat surgical affections in sheep and goats. Among them udder multi abscess 47.6%, udder gangrene 23.8%, udder hernia 10.7%, teat affections 9.5%, blind teat 8%. On the other side, the highest infection rate in sheep was 62%, while goats were 38%. Many affections of teat and udder can be cured by undertaking surgical interventions but they must be carried out under complete aseptic conditions to prevent further complications.
