“…This condition is described as having the appearance of a hernia covered by a paper-thin membrane (amnion) rather than hair [1] . Unlike umbilical hernia, omphalocele is an emergency surgical condition of neonatal animals that requires immediate surgical intervention [6] . The prognosis of omphalocele is often poor if severe abdominal contamination and ischemic necrosis of the everted organs occurs [7] .…”

Omphalocele is a rare congenital disorder of improper closure of ventral abdominal wall. This may cause the evisceration of entire abdominal organs from the peritoneal cavity however coated by thin amniotic membrane rather than skin. This defect does not arise due to hereditary. A newborn Holstein Friesian calf had a protruding mass from the abdomen at the time of birth. Clinical examination and abdominal palpation revealed that the calf had a congenital abdominal wall defect commonly known as Omphalocele. Preliminary surgical procedures were followed as per the standard veterinary ethical protocol under field condition. The calf was administered with local anaesthetics and the protruded mass was carefully pushed inside to place them in situ in the peritoneal cavity. The defect was then corrected by herniorrhaphy. The animal was given necessary supplements and supportive care for speedy recovery. After contiguous effort, the animal showed uneventful recovery in ten days.

“…It is a congenital defect in the body wall in which eviscerated abdominal organs are covered by amnion rather than skin [2] . It is one form of developmental defect not necessarily heritable [6] . Developmental defects may be deadly, semi deadly or compatible with life causing aesthetic defects or having no impact on the animal [4] .…”

Omphalocele is a rare type of congenital abdominal wall defect that allows intestines (and sometimes a portion of liver) covered by a paper-thin membrane (amnion) to protrude from the abdominal wall at the navel area. The aim of the current study is to report the first successful rectification of a congenital omphalocele in a day old neonatal cow calf using a basic suture pattern in laparotomy at cattle populous area of Jhang (Punjab). The case was presented at College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Jhang. The calf after surgery manifested a steady and progressive growth rate without any complication suggesting the success of the surgical remedy. At the same time this approach is quite economical to the farmer in the context of saving the life of his farm. It is concluded that this surgery can instituted with success in cases with fair body condition, less contaminated in the absence of predominant necrosis of the tissues.
