Pox lesion positive skins were examined by PCR to identify the agent.Results: The prevalence of sheep and goat in the study areas was 4.022%. From a total of 86 rejected skins, a large number of skins were in the rejected category (2.78%). There were highly statistically significant associations (p < 0.05) between sheep and goat pox and species and study areas. However, there were no statically significant associations (p > 0.05) between skin size and sheep and pox. Molecular diagnosis of the case revealed that goat pox virus was responsible for the lesion.Conclusion: Goat pox virus is the main cause of skin rejection and the factor that causes downgrading of skin.Keywords: central Ethiopia, sheep and goat pox, skin qualityKenubih AMammo BTerefe GFentahun TDove Medical Pressarticlecentral ethiopiasheep and goat poxskin qualityVeterinary medicineSF600-1100ENVeterinary Medicine: Research and Reports, Vol Volume 12, Pp 199-204 (2021)
