Capra hircus skin

Capra hircus skin is an allergenic extract derived from the skin or pelt of the domestic goat (*Capra hircus*). It is primarily utilized as an *in vivo* diagnostic tool in allergy testing, such as skin prick or intradermal tests, to identify individuals with hypersensitivity to goat-derived allergens. The product was approved in the United States in 1972 under BLA 102192 and is classified as a biologic. While it is also incorporated into various homeopathic formulations by distributors like DNA Labs and Dynamic Nutritional Associates, its primary clinical application is the diagnosis of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, or contact dermatitis triggered by exposure to goat pelt or skin allergens.
