“…Plastics(41.20%) were the most common foreign bodies recovered, followed by clothes(22.05%) and ropes(17.65%), findings similar to the work done by [20] and [21]. The highest prevalence of plastics might be due to improper disposal of plastics, and as well shortage of feed which is a common problem in current study area.…”

A cross-sectional study methods and systematic random sampling approach was used from November, 2020 to April, 2021 at Boko Town slaughter house of Fedis district, Eastern Ethiopia, with the objectives to assess the prevalence of rumen and reticulum foreign bodies, identify the types of foreign bodies and the associated risk factors for the occurrence of foreign bodies. From the total of 384 examined cattle, 136(35.40%) were found positive for the occurrence of indigestible foreign bodies in rumen and reticulum. Out of 136 positive cases of foreign body, 102(75%) were occurred in rumen, 31(22.80%) in reticulum. Plastics(41.20%) were the most common foreign bodies detected, followed by clothes (22.05%) and ropes(17.65%). There was statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in Prevalence among different sexes, age and body condition scores group; higher prevalence was observed in female (50%),old animals (50%) and poor body conditioned animals (55%). Therefore, sex, age and body condition score were considered as potential risk factors associated with occurrence of foreign body in rumen and reticulum. To conclude, this study shows that the grazing areas were contaminated With plastics, clothes, and other indigestible materials, could pose serious health problem for free grazing animals. Therefore, Awareness creation should be made on disposal and cleaning of indigestible materials in the grazing area.

“…Ruminants are crucial to countries’ economic besides providing meat, milk, drought resilience, revenue and draught purpose; however, the contribution of these domestic ruminants falls short due to poor management systems and other diseases (Herrero et al., 2013 ). One of the diseases is due to ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies, which poses serious economic loss in terms of decreased production, productivity and a high death rate, especially in developing countries (Teshome et al., 2017 ). It is most of the time asymptomatic and only clinically diagnosed in live animals if the material is accumulated in large amounts albeit adequately studied in abattoirs (Farooq et al., 2020 ).…”

Background Nowadays ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies poses serious economic loss to domestic ruminants, especially in a developing country. Objectives The study aims to determine the prevalence of indigestible foreign bodies in the forestomach of domestic ruminants slaughtered at Bishoftu Elfora Export Abattoir and its associated potential risk factors and identify the location and type of these indigestible foreign bodies. Study animals On 384 domestic ruminants (171 goats, 125 sheep and 88 cattle) presented for slaughter from different zones of the region. Methods Cross‐sectional study design was conducted from May 2021 to September 2021. Each animal was subjected to ante‐mortem and post‐mortem inspection by providing a unique identification number. For post‐mortem examination, the forestomach was carefully removed from the abdominal cavity. For the positives, the location was properly recorded, washed, identified and photographed. Results The overall prevalence of indigestible foreign bodies in domestic ruminants was 30.73% (118/384). Of these, 32.75% (56/171), 28% (35/125) and 30.68% (27/88) were recorded in goats, sheep and cattle, respectively, without statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). Aged domestic ruminants 39.3% (33/84) had poor body conditions 38.98% (23/59), originated from the Borena zone 42.11% (16/38) and were relatively recorded with higher prevalence. From the forestomach compartments, the indigestible foreign bodies were majorly found in rumen 86.43% (102/118) and reticulum 13.56% (16/118) with a statistical difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion and clinical importance Ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies mainly during the dry season due to shortage of forage, less biodegradable and negligent waste disposal like plastic bags attribute environmental and animal health problems and pose loss to the national economy.

“…In the same survey, 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 Nigussu Fasil [7]. In Teshome and et al investigation the prevalence of foreign bodies in Abattoir, was significantly higher in sheep (29.6%) and goat (16.7%) than cattle (14%) Teshome [6]. In this study, the outbreak of disease was happened and 6.25 % had the clinical signs, but obviously the present of foreign bodies, with no clinical symptom, was significantly more.…”

“…The presence of foreign materials in the rumen and reticulum hampers the absorption of volatile fatty acids and consequently, reduces the rate of animal fattening Igbokwe [4], Roman and Hiwot, [5], Tesfaye [3]. The prevalence of foreign bodies in sheep in different studies were as 9, 29, and 30 in abattoir investigations Tesfaye [3]; Teshome [6], Nigussu Fasil [7]. The most foreign bodies identified were plastic bags, then rope and cloth Abebe & Nuru [8], Roman & Hiwot [5]; Sheferaw [9]; Tesfaye [3].…”

Background: Small ruminants are known to play a very important role in food security in developing countries such as Iran.Objective: The objective of the study was to identify types and estimate the prevalence of foreign bodies in the rumen and reticulum of involved sheep in the area, and also to evaluate the surgical approach prognosis.Results: Epidemic occurred in northwestern of Iran. After referring two cases with ruminal impaction to Tehran Veterinary Hospital, a precise clinical examination, epidemiology study, and a herd survey were done. Ultimately, surgery was selected to correct the problem. The incidence and mortality of the disorder were recorded 6/25% and 3.3% respectively. The prognosis of surgical approach was estimated 90%. On clinical examination of the ram revealed dullness, dehydration, scanty faeces and slight distension of the abdomen at paralumbar fossa. The number of respiration increased, and breathing was accompanied by groan and difficulty in breathing. The foreign bodies were about 2 kilogram in weight and was comprised of rope and plastic in mixed with feces. Conclusion:It was concluded that large economic losses occur due to ingestion of foreign bodies in sheep. It's conducted that ruminal impaction can result of grazing sheep in polluted pastures with plastics or ropes or other indigestible material or in poor pastures that result in ingestion even the rare foreign bodies. In addition, it was concluded that surgical approach can be helpful in these cases with acceptable prognosis.
