“…Rumenotomy is a routine surgical procedure that includes incision into the rumen (1,2,3) and is used for the relief of numerous conditions, especially rumen foreign body impaction (3,4,5). The procedure is commonly employed for large ruminants (bovine species), but the technique is also used for small ruminants (sheep and goats) without appropriate standardization (6). The indications for rumenotomy, preoperative patient management, various surgical techniques, and postoperative management, including complications from the procedure, have all been described, but only limited information is available for restrained animals in various positions (6).…”

Standing and lateral recumbency positions have been used as a standard approach for most surgical procedures for large and small ruminants, respectively, without appropriate attention to the associated surgical stress. The study aimed to assess the level of surgical stress in Kano Brown goats (KBGs) based on their serum amyloid A (SAA) profiles by undergoing rumenotomy in lateral recumbency (Rumen Skin Clamp Fixation-RSCF and Stay Suture Rumenotomy-SSR) and a standing position restraint. A total of 24 KBGs were equally allocated by number and sex in groups A, B, C, and D. Groups A and B underwent RSCF and SSR in lateral recumbency, respectively, while group D underwent a rumenotomy in a standing position performed in a custom made mobile small ruminant surgical chute. Animals in groups A, B, and D were diagnosed with rumen foreign bodies, whereas group C was used as a control with a negative diagnosis. At 48 h post-rumenotomy, the mean SAA concentration in group B (137.88±66.87 g/L) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the value in group C (34.59±0.57 g/L). The females in group B had a significantly higher (P<0.05) mean concentration of SAA at 48 hours (210.15±123.73 g/L) than groups C (35.18±0.08 g/L) and D (48.35±12.15 g/L). In group A, at 24 hours, SAA concentration (115.61±20.96 µg/L) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of group B (31.51±2.59 µg/L) and group C (34.86±3.21 µg/L) in males. Rumenotomy in the standing restraint position was associated with minimal surgical stress, hence it’s recommended over the conventional lateral recumbent position techniques.

“…The digestive system of cattle has the peculiarity of being made up of 4 different anatomical components consisting of the rumen, reticle, omasum, and abomasum; the abomasum or rumen plays a role in production of digestive enzymes or fermentation of fibrous plant material by the ruminal microorganisms that produce volatile fatty acids, respectively (Martin et al, 2021).…”

Despite the livestock industry has made great improvements in feeding, breeding, and herd management, proper prevention and treatment of calf diseases are still remained as a challenge (Kim et al, 2021). Globally, calves' morbidity and mortality rates due to several diseases have been reported to be about 35% and 7%, respectively (Mee, 2013;Windeyer et al, 2014;Abuelo et al, 2019). Among several diseases of calves, calf diarrhea is a disease of the digestive system with watery feces and more frequent intestine movements, and has been a major cause of economic loss to the cattle farms due to cost of treatment, retarded growth, and death of calves (Lee et al, 2020). Of note, it has been reported that diarrhea is the main disease with the highest morbidity from newborns less than 1 month old to the preweaned calves; in accordance with published articles in Korea, 97.6% of calves had diarrhea during the suckling period and diarrhea was the cause of death in 53.4% of dairy calf deaths (Kim et al, 1990;Hur et al, 2013;Choe et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2021). The diarrheic calf presents several symptoms including dehydration by the loss of water, acidosis owing to electrolyte loss and imbalance, depression, lethargy, decrease of the suck reflex, and more severity such as recumbence, coma, and death
