Abstract
Auricular hematomas in goats, often caused by head shaking or ear scratching, lead to blood accumulation between the skin and cartilage of the ear, resulting in swelling and discomfort. If untreated, this condition can block the ear canal and affect ear positioning. This study evaluates the most effective method for closing skin incisions in goats following surgical treatment of auricular hematoma by comparing silk sutures, skin staples, and surgical glue. The research involved 15 goats, divided into three groups of five, each treated with either silk sutures, skin staples, or surgical glue. Effectiveness was assessed based on application time, healing time, and cosmetic appearance. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for application and healing times, and Chi-Square tests were employed for cosmetic outcomes. Results indicated that surgical glue was superior, providing faster application, better cosmetic results, and shorter healing times.
