A Review of Abomasal Ulcers in Beef Calves

Abomasal ulcers are an economic concern for the calf raising industries. Many factors have been attributed to the development of ulcers, such as coarse feed, environmental stress, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and bacterial infections. However, unlike human ulcers no one factor has been proven to have a significant relationship to abomasal ulcers in calves. Therefore, management of this dis...

Abomasal Displacement in Cows - Measurement of Oxygen Saturation of the Abomasal Wall

The monitoring of intestinal oxygen saturation by means of a pulse oximeter is routinely applied in human medicine during surgery of the gastrointestinal tract to evaluate the disturbance of perfusion and assess tissue viability. To some extent, this technique has been applied in veterinary medicine. The purpose of this study was to test the technique in cattle and to describe the influence of ...

Efficacy of moxibustion after rolling correction in dairy cows with abomasal displacement.

This study was performed to assess the efficacy of moxibustion after rolling correction in dairy cows with abomasal displacement (AD). The experimental group comprised 86 Holstein cows with left displacement of the abomasum (LDA) and right displacement of the abomasum (RDA), with a mean age of 3.8 with AD during a 2-year period. The cows were rolled for correction of AD. After the rolling proce...
