Abstract

The anomalies happened in the jaw are of genetic character, therefore its presence in the herd should be prevented, therefore this provokes difficulties in the apprehension and chewing of the foods, what can take the animal to serious alimentary deficiencies and until the death. This work has as on objective to verify the presence or not of goat and sheep with that anomaly. 5.221 animals in five towns of the region surrounding of the Irecê had been evaluated. It was verified presence of those anomalies in 107 animals (2.05%), being 53 (1.02%) cases of Retrognathism and 54 (1.03%) cases of Prognathism. These found values had been considered of low occurrence although not to have other works of goat and sheep similar surveys in being made the comparison.
