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...

bunium persicum (boiss.) is an economically important medicinal plant growing wild in arid regions in iran. the essential oil of b. persicum (eobp) was extracted using hydrodistillation. a total of eighteen compounds, representing 96.14 % of the oil was identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms).the main compounds were cuminaldehyde (23.04 %), gamma-terpinene (14.48 %), trans-3-...

Accurate estimates of microbial synthesis in the rumen are vital to optimize ruminant nutrition. Liquid- (LAB) and solid-associated bacterial fractions (SAB) harvested from the rumen are generally considered as microbial references when microbial yield is calculated; however, factors that determine their composition are not completely understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect...

The goal of this study was to examine the development of the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum in six calves from birth to 100 days of age by means of six serial ultrasonographic examinations. The examinations were carried out in standing animals using a 5 MHz-transducer as described previously. The calves were primarily fed milk until examination 4 and then they were weaned. The reticulum ...

The objective of this research was to evaluation metabolic, biochemical and hematological parameters in dairy cattle with displacement the abomasum (DA). In study, 80 DA 10 healthy early lactation were used. Jugular venous blood samples for gases, serum analysis all taken. Glucose, lactate, triglycerides, BHB, NEFA, insulin, VLDL, GGT, CK concentrations pH hematocrit value significantly (P

Two experiments were conducted to assess the endogenous fraction of purine derivative (PD) excretion, urinary recovery, and intestinal digestibility of purines in Nellore heifers. For both experiments, 8 Nellore heifers fitted with ruminal and abomasal cannulas were allocated to two 4 × 4 Latin squares. The diets were based on corn silage and concentrate (60 and 40% DM basis, respectively); fec...

I . Effects of feeding liquid milk-substitute to young calves either by nipple-pail or open-bucket o n the rumen by-pass and on the rate of passage were studied. z. Sixteen Holstein calves, aged I week initially, were used in three experiments in which calves were slaughtered after they were given liquids (milk-substituteand water) containingchromic oxide and SrCI, .6H,O as a tracer either by t...
