With no effective treatments available, homeopathy offers a safe, low-cost, residue-free alternative. This study evaluated two distinct homeopathic protocols, a homeopathic nosode (Gnosode) and a homeopathic complex of plant/mineral origin (Ghomeopathic), using a triple-blind, placebo-controlled design in SRLV-infected goats. Forty-two Saanen goats with SRLV-confirmed chronic osteoarthritis and weight loss were randomly assigned to three groups: SRLV nosode (Gnosode; n = 14), homeopathic complex (Ghomeopathic; n = 14), or placebo (Gplacebo; n = 14). Treatments were administered orally (1 mL/day) for 90 days. Monthly assessments included clinical exams, joint ultrasound, and milk production records. Both homeopathic groups showed significant improvements (p &lt 0.05) in body condition score, weight, articular index and joint width compared to placebo. Ultrasound revealed lower carpal joint lesion measures in treated groups, including reduced distance from the joint capsule to the subchondral space, area, and perimeter of lesions (p &lt 0.05). Homeopathic treatments improved clinical and ultrasound outcomes, as well as productive parameters, in SRLV-infected goats. These results suggest homeopathy as a promising tool for managing chronic osteoarthritis and weight loss associated with SRLV.  aDairy goats  aGnosode  aHomeopathic treatments1 aSANTOS, L.
