Study Notes
Adult Ruminant Stomach Conditions
- This lecture covers various stomach conditions in adult ruminants.
- Learning objectives include differential diagnosis, appropriate medical and surgical interventions, prognosis determination, and disease prevention strategies.
- The case approach introduces clinical signs and examination methods for diagnosing stomach disorders in adult ruminants.
- A diagram illustrates the ruminant digestive tract, including the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum.
- A further clinical examination section details examination techniques like the Withers Pinch test, Knee/Fist test, and Bar Test for identifying problems.
- Diagnostic methods such as ultrasonography, abdominocentesis, and laparoscopy aid in confirming suspected stomach diseases.
- Rumen fluid analysis involves sampling and evaluating the fluid for pH and other indicators of rumen health.
- Differential diagnoses for various presentations, including bloat (frothy and gas) and traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP), are detailed.
- The causes, symptoms, and diagnosis of bloat, TRP, vagal indigestion, and acute acidosis are explored.
- The lecture discusses prevention strategies by examining high-risk periods, dietary changes, and herd management.
- Causes of abomasal ulcers are identified, including aggressive milk consumption, stress, and copper deficiency; different causes, levels of harm and treatment are classified.
- Diagnosis and treatment strategies for left and right displaced abomasum (LDA) and associated conditions are presented.
- A table lists major differential diagnoses for a "ping" in the left flank.
- Success factors for successful LDA surgery are explored.
