Surgical management of ruminal impaction due to non-penetrating foreign body syndrome in Kankrej cattle
... It has been suggested that insufficiency of soda salts or phosphates in the food may cause this problem (Whitlock et al., 1975;Smith et al., 2000). It is characterized by accumulation of plastic, rexin, polythene bags, ropes and nonpenetrating metal objects like nuts, bolts, etc in the rumen and reticulum of bovine (Deepak, et al., 2011). ...
... The clinical signs include pale mucous membrane, complete cessation of rumination, impacted rumen, rumen atony, reduced rumen motility and inappetance (Vanitha, et al., 2010;Hailat, et al. 1996;Igbokwe, et al. 2003;Reddy, et al. 2004), as observed in this case. Deepak, et al. (2011) reported emaciation, passage of scanty faeces by the animal and palpation of left paralumbar fossa to feel a hard impacted mass. Absence of stratification of the rumen was observed in all the affected animals and rectal examination revealed pellet mucous coated dung (Deepak, et al., 2011). ...

A 31/2 - year old balami ewe was presented at the Large Animal Unit of Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto with complaints of foamy salivation and progressive weight loss despite good appetite. The vital parameters (pulse rate, respiratory rate and rectal temperature) were within normal ranges. Abdominal ballotment revealed a hard mass on the left side of the abdomen and ruminal motility was one cycle in 31/2 minutes. Considering the history and clinical examination, rumen impaction was tentatively diagnosed and confirmed by rumenotomy procedure. Blood sample was taking for haemogram and the patient was prepared for routine rumenotomy procedure. A 4.0 kg weight impacted materials which were mainly polythene materials were evacuated. The patient was hospitalized and the skin sutures were removed 11 days after the surgery. The patient was discharged and the client was advised accordingly.
... The predisposition of sheep and goats to indigestible foreign materials is becoming a major global problem in the production systems of developing countries due to environmental contamination. The rumen and reticulum impactions with indigestible foreign bodies are among the most severe veterinary emergencies (Ghurashi et al., 2009;Suthar et al., 2011;Abu-Seida and Al-Abbadi, 2014;Otsyina et al., 2015). Foreign body impaction has been recorded in small ruminants, specifically in countries lacking adequate domestic and industrial waste recycling facilities (Tesfaye et al., 2012a). ...
BACKGROUND: The predisposition of ruminants to indigestible foreign materials is becoming a major global concern in livestock systems in developing countries making gastrointestinal tract impactions severe veterinary emergencies.
... Animal suffered from vagus indigestion showed characteristic inverted "L" shape of abdomen. The clinical signs recorded in this study were in agreement with those reported in the previous studies (Behl et al., 1997;Sattler et al., 2000;Ramprabhu et al., 2002;Singh et al., 2003;Radostits et al., 2007;Saleh et al., 2008;Suthar et al., 2011;Abu-seida and Al-abbadi 2014Sudhakara et al., 2014and Neamat-Allah, 2015and Mohan et al., 2015. ...
... This is consistent with the results of this paper. In our study, gradually after a week, food intake and weight gaining were increased and the prognosis of were recovered (62%) and others died after few days Suthar [11]. ...
... Clinical diagnosis of ruminal diseases may be difficult because ruminal atony and abdominal discomfort may accompany many diseases (Suthar et al., 2011). Correct diagnosis of the swallowed foreign bodies in the rumen or reticulum is usually based on case history, clinical findings, radiography, and laparotomy (Radostits et al., 2006). ...
This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of traumatic reticulitis and other affections on some blood variables in buffaloes. Female buffaloes (n = 62) were divided into eight groups: control, non-penetrating reticular foreign bodies (NPRF), traumatic reticulitis (TR), traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP), traumatic reticuloperitonitis with peri-reticular abscess (TRP + PA), traumatic reticuloperitonitis with vagus indigestion (TRP + VI), diaphragmatic hernia (DH), and traumatic pericarditis (TP). Results revealed a significant decrease in RBC count in cases of NPRF, TR, TRP, TRP + PA, and TP. Platelet count was significantly decreased in case of TRP. Serum albumin concentration was significantly decreased in cases of TRP, NPRF and TR. Serum zinc was significantly decreased in case of TP. Serum phosphorus was significantly decreased in case of DH. It could be concluded that anemia is a consistent finding in affections of the rumen and reticulum in buffaloes. The tendency of buffaloes to ingest foreign bodies may be attributed to deficiency of phosphorus and/or zinc.
... Tympany and hard pellet mucous coated feces were recorded in 12 (80%) goats. Accumulation of the indigestible materials in rumen leads to distension of the rumen and passing of scanty or no feces [15,16]. Additionally, Meyer and Kumar and Dhar [17,18] stated that most of impacted materials in the rumen do not cause clinical impaction except where the rumino-reticular orifices were partially or completely blocked Moreover, pale mucous membrane and sunken eye were observed in 8 (53.3%) and 9 (60%), respectively. ...
Background and Aim: Diagnosis of foreign body impaction in ruminant is still of interest in most clinical studies. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate this condition using B-mode ultrasonography in addition to evaluation of clinical, hemato-biochemical and ruminal parameters in healthy and affected goats.
Materials and Methods: Fifteen clinically normal goats and 15 goats with foreign body impaction were recruited in Menia El-Kamh abattoir. All animals were selected only when revealed negative for internal and external parasite. Thorough clinical, ultrasonographic examination and blood analysis were applied before slaughtering. Meanwhile, ruminal fluid and necropsy findings were assessed after slaughtering.
Results: The prominent clinical signs in diseased group were inappetence, dullness, emaciation, weakness, scanty hard feces and tympany. Ultrasonographic examination of diseased goats revealed the presence of foreign body at left 11th-12th ICS. Foreign body in rumen appeared as hyperechoic band with acoustic shadowing. Significant reduction in ruminal wall thickness and biphasic reticular motility along with significant increase in monophasic reticular contraction and relaxation period were recorded in diseased goats when compared with control one. The erythrocytes count, hemoglobin content, hematocrit percent and albumin were significantly decreased in diseased goats when compared with healthy one. Moreover, ruminal fluid analysis of affected goats revealed significant decrease in ruminal pH and prolonged Methylene blue reduction time.
Conclusions: Findings indicated that B-mode ultrasonography is a relatively simple and objective method for diagnosis of foreign body impaction in goats.
... Ruminal impaction is considered an important internal disease in ruminants, such as dairy cows, sheep, and goats. It has been reported that it could be caused by many types of agents (Behera et al. 2013;Igbokwe et al. 2003;Jones & Money, 1965;Khose et al. 2010;Suthar et al. 2011). This study describes a novel case of ruminal impaction in Boer goats due to the plant Ficus esquiroliana. ...
Ruminal impaction is considered an important internal disease in ruminants, such as dairy cows, sheep, and goats. It has been reported that its occurrence is associated with many different causes. This study describes a novel case of ruminal impaction caused by a plant, Ficus esquiroliana Levl., in Boer goats. This case suggests that Ficus esquiroliana should be taken into consideration when providing food for ruminants.
