Serum pepsinogen level and abomasal ulcerations in experimental abomasal displacement in sheep

Role of serum pepsinogen in detecting cows with abomasal ulcer

Serum pepsinogen activity was determined in the blood serum of 126 clinically healthy cows by the method of Paynter. After slaughter the cows studied were classified into three groups according to established macroscopic changes to the mucous membrane of the abomasum: a group without changes, a group with ulcers and a group with other changes. The prevalence of the appearance of abomasal ulcers...

Experimental induction of left abomasal displacement: a new educational technique

The purpose of this study was to induce abomasal displacement to the left, and to let the undergraduate and post graduate students get used to the ping sounds of abomasum and other clinical manifestations. The procedure was carried out on eight young bulls, they were sedated and a 2 m flexible tube was inserted through the nasal canal into the rumen. By laparo-rumenotomy, 20 cm of the tube was ...

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 ...
