“…Clinical symptoms of impaction of the rumen with indigestible foreign bodies in sheep and goats are reported to vary widely from mild indigestion to life threatening systemic signs (Gyang, 1991;Otsyina et al, 2016). However, complications depend on the nature and quantity of the foreign bodies (Calfee and Manning, 2002), as well as the duration of impaction.…”

A study was carried out with the objective of determining the haematological and blood biochemical parameters in sheep and goats with plastic bags in the rumen for a period of 42 days. This was to indicate the possible influence of plastic bags in the rumen on blood parameters. 16, one-year old castrate Dorper sheep with a mean body weight of 26.8 kg (± 0.3 kg) and 16 one-year old castrate small East African goats with a mean weight of 24.5 kg (± 0.3 kg) were used for the study. The 16 sheep and 16 goats were divided into 4 groups of 4 animals each (n = 4). Three groups of each species were implanted with 129 g, 258 g and 387 g of plastic bags, respectively, in the rumen through rumenotomy and the fourth group of each species was control on which rumenotomy was done but with no implanting of plastic bags. Blood samples were obtained by jugular venipuncture from all sheep and goats every 2 weeks for analysis. The only haematological parameter that had significant change was platelets, which significantly (p < 0.05) increased in both sheep and goats with plastic bags in the rumen. However, mean values of erythrocytes, packed cell volume, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume decreased but not significantly in the sheep and goats with plastic bags in the rumen. The sheep and goats with plastic bags in the rumen had hyponatraemmia, hypochloridaemia and decreased aspartate aminotransferase enzyme activity. The changes observed in haematological and biochemical parameters could be an indication of adverse effects on the production and well-being of sheep and goats that ingest these plastic bags. These finding may be of diagnostic importance in cases of rumen impaction with indigestible foreign bodies, particularly, plastic bags.

“…Many authors reported that entrance and migration of foreign objects through the body tissues lead to many complications that differ according to the nature of the foreign body and the way of its entrance into the tissues (Chee andSethi 1999, Calfee andManning 2002). The most ingested foreign bodies were recorded to migrate from the stomach after its perforation to the diaphragm, causing inflammatory changes in the abdominal and thoracic cavities as well as intestinal perforation (Vasapollo et al, 1997, Hunt et al, 2004and Koutinas et al, 2004.…”

“…Foreign objects inserted into the body tissues may cause only minor injury but sometimes they may provide a great deal of amusement as they may be overlooked leading to harm to the patient (Hunter and Mihra 2003). Migration of objects through the body tissues results in many complications which manifested by clinical symptoms that differ according to their nature and type of injury (Chee andSethi 1999, Calfee andManning 2002).…”

recurrent abscesses, fistulae, hard to heal wounds and recurrent lameness. Surgical management was based mainly on thorough exploration of the site of lesion with widening and finger palpation of the site of lesion. Determination of the site and type of the foreign object was easy determined with the use of radiographic examination. In conclusion foreign objects should be suspected to be the real cause in any case of recurrent abscesses, fistulae, or hard to heal wounds or in cases of recurrent lameness. Removal of these materials is important to allow complete recovery of the lesion.

The study was conducted from November 2014 to April 2015 at Jigjiga Municipal Abattoir, Somale Regional State, Eastern Ethiopia. The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence of rumen and reticulum foreign bodies, identifying types of foreign bodies and associated risk factors for the occurrences of foreign bodies in sheep and goats in the area. A total of 384 sheep and goats were selected using systematic random sampling method and 118 of them (30.73%) were found positive for foreign bodies in their rumen and/or reticulum. From each 192 sheep and goats examined, 34.4% (66) and 27% (52) were positive for various types of foreign bodies, respectively. There was no statistically significant (p>0.05) difference between the two species for the occurrence of rumen and reticulum foreign bodies. Prevalence of foreign body recorded in thin, medium and good sheep and goats was 40%, 35.9% and 28.52%, respectively. However, variation in the prevalence of foreign bodies among the body condition groups was significantly different (p<0.05). Prevalence of foreign body recorded in less than 2 years, 3-4 years and greater than 4 years old was observed to have no significant difference (p>0.05). From 118 animals positive for foreign bodies, rumen showed higher occurrence (78%) than reticulum (20.34%). The study showed high prevalence of foreign bodies in sheep and goats. Strict legislations regarding the proper disposal of wastes from households and factories should be applied to reduce pollution of the environment.
