“…In the present study majority of the animals (90.00%) showed recurrent tympany might be due to large amount indigestible material in rumen and alterations in the rumino-reticular motility posing difficulty to eructation. Similar findings were reported by Behera et al (2013) and Nayak et al (2014). While abnormal rumination was observed in all animals, among them 75% showed suspended while 25% showed decreased rumination.…”

Twenty female animals selected for study from which 60% buffaloes and 40% cattle with a mean age of 6.32 ± 0.66 years. The mean duration of illness was 20.7 ± 2.13 days and majority recently calved (45%). Mean rectal temperature, respiratory and heart rates elevated and rumen motility decreased. Ferroscopy was positive in fifteen animals. Haematological and Biochemical parameters revealed leucocytosis, neutrophilia and lymphocytopenia, decreased albumin and increased total plasma proteins, globulin, AST, ALT, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and plasma fibrinogen level. Laparorumenotomy revealed adhesion of reticulum and left abdominal wall in seven, reticulum and right abdominal wall in three, reticulum and ventral abdominal wall in one and reticulum with diaphragm in four cases with non-metallic foreign bodies and frothy rumen content in five animals. Ruminitis, sloughing and haemorrhages of ruminal papillae in two cases. Complications like recurrent tympany, subcutaneous emphysema, swelling and discharge at surgical site were managed appropriately and all animals recovered. In-vitro ultrasonographic examination of diaphragm revealed that the right lower half musculo-tendinous junction of diaphragm was thinner than the left lower half musculo-tendinous junction of diaphragm.

“…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 due to Ficus esquiroliana Levl. in Boer goats

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.
