Gastrointestinal (GI) microflora is an important system in the host, as it has both pathogenic and probiotic bacteria. Most of the studies were focused on the human gut microflora and the available information on the intestinal microflora of goats was limited. This urged the need to inspect the impacts of the goat's gut microflora. Metagenomic investigation of probiotic bacteria in the GI tract of goat is one of the challenging streams because of the less available data of the uncultivable bacteria. In our report, comparative analysis of metagenomic and enrichment samples of goat intestinal content was done and this approach will be helpful in analyzing the identification of uncultivable and cultivable probiotic bacteria. This study mainly focused on three key probiotic adhesion genes, such as EF‐Tu, mapA, and mub. The GI of four different goats were investigated for these genes. The data from this study showed that there is a wide diversity of these genes among goat intestinal samples.
