Haematological findings in dairy cows with concurrent left abomasal displacement and hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver)

Metabolomic biomarkers correlating with hepatic lipidosis in dairy cows

BACKGROUND Hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease is a major metabolic disorder of high-producing dairy cows that compromises animal performance and, hence, causes heavy economic losses worldwide. This syndrome, occurring during the critical transition from gestation to early lactation, leads to an impaired health status, decreased milk yield, reduced fertility and shortened lifetime. Because...

A Treatise on Left Abomasal Displacement in Dairy Cattle

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...

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 ...
