This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of pregnancy toxemia in nine different villages (Garip, Yamaç, Alibir, Yeşil, Sarıçiçek, Gökçeli, Çavuşlar, Ardıçtepe, and Balpınar) in Bingöl province. Blood beta hydroxy butyric acid (BHBA) concentration was measured to diagnose pregnancy toxemia. The study included 398 hair goats that were in the last 3 weeks of their pregnancy, with 303 classified as healthy (H), 25 with clinical pregnancy toxemia (CPT), and 70 with subclinical pregnancy toxemia (SPT). Blood BHBA concentration <0.80 mmol/L was considered H, 8–1.6 mmol/L was considered SPT, and >1.6 mmol/L was considered CPT. It was determined that the average body condition score of the goats was 2.8±0.7 and the average age was 4.5±0.8. Blood BHBA concentrations were analyzed using the FreeStyle Optium Neo H (Abbott Diabetes Care Ltd., Witney, UK). It was determined that there were 303 (76.13%) H goats and 95 (23.87%) pregnancy toxemia goats in Garip, Yamaç, Alibir, Yeşil, Sarıçiçek, Gökçeli, Çavuşlar, Ardıçtepe, and Balpınar villages of Bingöl. It was determined that 70 of the goats with pregnancy toxemia consisted of SPT (73.68%), while 25 of them consisted of goats with CPT (26.32%). As a result, the high prevalence of pregnancy toxemia in goat farms across Bingöl province indicates important management and nutritional misspractices in livestock farming.
