However, reproductive efficiency is still far from optimal, possibly due to the high number of undiagnosed disorders that may affect fertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate occurrences of the main reproductive disorders in dairy goats in southeastern Brazil. Data were collected between January 2015 and May 2017 from 23 commercial herds of different breeds, with goats ranging from 8 months to 12 years of age. Transrectal ultrasound exams were performed in 2680 goats. A total of 14.8% of the does showed a disorder in the reproductive tract: hydrometra (10.0%), ovarian follicular cysts (2.3%), gestational loss (1.5%), and hydrosalpinx (1.1%). This was the first study evaluating reproductive disorders in live animals that used a high number of Brazilian dairy goats. Considering that all these diseases affect fertility to different degrees, the performance of transrectal ultrasonography exams twice a year is strongly suggested, in order to guide precocious treatment or discard the animal as soon as possible, thus reducing economic losses in dairy goat farming.  aFemale genital diseases  aOvarian cysts  aOvarian follicles  aPregnancy complications  aReproduction  aReproductive disorders  aReproductive efficiency  aUterine diseases  aCabra Leiteira  aCaprino  aEficiência reprodutiva  aOvário  aReprodução animal  aUltrassom  aCisto ovariano  aDoença de reprodução  aDoença do sistema genital  aDoença vaginal  aFolículos ovarianos  aGenital diseases  aGestational loss  aHydrometra  aOvarian follicular cysts  aUltrasound1 aBRANDÃO, F.
