Phosphorus Homeostasis in Dairy Cows with Abomasal Displacement or Abomasal Volvulus

Ultrasonographic findings in cows with right displacement of the abomasum and abomasal volvulus.

Seventeen cows with right displacement of the abomasum (rda) without abomasal volvulus, nine cows with abomasal volvulus and 10 clinically healthy cows were examined ultrasonographically. A 5.0 MHz transducer was used to scan the eighth to 12th intercostal spaces and the cranial and caudal aspects of the flank on the right side. The position, size and dorsal and ventral margins of the abomasum ...

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...

4b.5 the Occurrence of Abomasal Displacement in Dairy Cows Modified by the Weather Situation

The left-side displacement of the abomasum (DA) or the right-side DA with dilatation and / or torsion is a frequent pathological phenomenon not only due to the increment of animal production, but also to the increase in size of the dairy cow. In the dairy cows’ clinic the pathology’s diagnosis has become a daily routine (Geishauser, 1996, Geishauser et al., 1998). This pathology is responsible ...
