Nutritional risk factors in the etiology of left displaced abomasum in dairy cows: a review.

The transition period occurring 2 wk prepartum through 2 to 4 wk postpartum is the major risk period in the etiology of left displaced abomasum. The prepartum depression of intake and the slow postpartum increase in intake are risk factors causing lower ruminal fill, reduced forage to concentrate ratio, and increased incidence of other postpartum disorders. Uncomplicated ketosis, retained place...

Fluoroscopic observation of the development of displaced abomasum in dairy cows

To clarify the mechanisms underlying the development of displaced abomasum (DA), we repositioned DA in 12 cows by rolling and observed the course of redisplacement using X-ray fluoroscopy. Displacement of the abomasum was observed to follow three patterns: displacement to the left side of the abdominal cavity through the gap formed at the reticulum, atrium of the rumen and ventral sac of the ru...

Displaced abomasum frequently occurs around the...
