Morphological and histochemical study of the abomasal epithelium in camel (Camelus dromedarius) wascarried out by light and scanning electron microscopes. The lining of the abomasum was divided into fourregions, i.e. cardiac, pseudocardiac, fundic and pyloric. Our investigation revealed that the cardiac andpseudocardiac regions occupy a wide part of the abomasum in camel and it reaches approxim...

Next to rumen acidosis, other forms of acidosis may also affect lactational performance cows. Therefore, the effects hindgut induced via abomasal infusion ground corn, and metabolic NH4Cl, were studied in cows early lactation. Observations made on intake digestibility nutrients, lactation performance, energy N partitioning, blood acid-base status, fermentation characteristics. In a 6 × Latin sq...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the occurrence rate, underlying etiology or treatment of left displacement of the abomasum in beef calves. OBJECTIVE Describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of left displacement of the abomasum in 4 beef calves. ANIMALS Four client-owned beef breed calves with left displaced abomasum (LDA). METHODS Retrospective case series. Hospital me...

BACKGROUND Body condition score and blood profiles have been used to monitor management and herd health in dairy cows. The aim of this study was to examine BCS and extended metabolic profiles, reflecting both energy metabolism and liver status around calving in high-producing herds with a high incidence of abomasal displacement and ketosis and to evaluate if such profiles can be used at herd le...
