Caprine arthritis encephalitis or milk from infected goats. Separating goat kids from infected goats, and feeding the kids with cow's milk, or pasteurized goat milk, will prevent infection. The disease can be spread from goat to goat via direct contact and body fluids, such as saliva. Blood testing goats for CAE virus before moving them into a new herd will prevent the spread of the disease. There is no known cure. To prevent spread of the disease, infected animals are separated from non-infected goats, or culled.

Tsaidamotherium mountainous areas that had formed during a phase of tectonic uplift in Northwestern China at the beginning of the Late Miocene. Tsaidamotherium Tsaidamotherium is an extinct genus of Late Miocene ovibovinid caprine from the Tibetan Plateau of Northwestern China. Both known species are extremely unusual in that the horns are of unequal sizes: the left horn core is several times smaller than the right horn core. The closest living relative of "Tsaidamotherium" is probably the Muskox, "Ovibos moschatus". The generic name refers to the Qaidam Basin, the region where the holotype of the type species, "T. hedini" was found. The
