Abstract: This study aimed to explore the metabolic differences in sera of antemortem neonatal goats based on an epidemiological perspective. A case-control design was used to discover the metabolic differences in serum between the dead newborn goats suffered from a disease and healthy goats at the same age by using UPLC-MS/MS. A total of 13 compounds were significantly different between healthy and dead newborn goats. KEGG analysis showed that these differential produced metabolites mainly involved the synthesis and catabolism of amino acids. The differential produced metabolites in serum are important for us to understand the agonal reaction at the metabolic level when neonatal goats suffering from a disease. This study also provides an advanced research basis for the establishment of disease-related biomarkers for neonatal goats which may suffer from a disease.
