N2  - The importance of small ruminants is primarily associated with three important reasons: economic, managerial and biological. Economic advantages include low initial investment and correspondingly smaller risk of loss from individual deaths. Managerial considerations favour their care by unpaid family labour and limited resource use for the supply of meat and milk in quantities suitable for immediate family consumption. Biological factors include possible preference over large ruminants, food, and reproductive efficiency, and in turn, economic use of the available land for maximum product output in terms of meat, milk, wool, hair, and hides from both species. Sheep and goats are a generational legacy in the State of Kuwait, so this study was designed to record surgical affections in sheep and goats in the state of Kuwait. The study was conducted from October 2017 to October 2019 in different farms and hospital belonging to Public authority for agriculture affairs and fish resources - Kuwait City, Kuwait. From the obtained data, a total number of 658 small ruminants (385 sheep and 273 goats) suffered from different surgical affections were recorded. The incidence of these affections varied in both species and different ages. Sixty surgical affections were recorded among sheep and goats (14 congenital and 46 acquired affections representing 17.9% and 82.1% respectively). In the present work, the surgical affections were classified in systematic manner into urogenital system (18.54%) (sheep, 20.5% and goats, 15.8%), udder and teat (14.29%) (sheep, 15.6% and goats, 12.5%), digestive system (13.37%) (sheep, 14.5% and goats, 11.7%), integumentary system (13.07%) (sheep, 12.2% and goats, 14.3%), musculoskeletal system (12.31%) (sheep, 10.1% and goats, 15.4%), abdominal wall (10.49%) (sheep, 10.6% and goats, 10.3%), eye (9.42%) (sheep, 8.3% and goats, 11.0%), ear (5.47%) (sheep, 4.2% and goats, 7.3%) and respiratory system (3.04%) (sheep, 3.9% and goats 1.8%)
