Abomasal displacement is a common issue in older lactating dairy cattle, often occurring within the first month post-parturition. This displacement, specifically left-sided displacement (LDA), is associated with high concentrate diets, rumen atony, and gas distension. Recognizing the signs and cause

Amphistomosis is a disease in ruminants caused by several types of rumen flukes. It leads to productivity losses, weight loss, fertility reduction, and other symptoms. Infection occurs through ingestion of contaminated vegetables and raw meat. The parasite affects the rumen and reticulum of sheep, g

Alkalosis in cattle, particularly ruminal alkalosis, can be caused by issues such as abomasal atony and alkaline indigestion. Excessive intake of protein-rich feed and changes in diet play a significant role. Pathophysiology involves the accumulation of ruminal ammonia, leading to alkaline pH and ru

Vagal indigestion in ruminants is a functional disturbance affecting the fore stomachs, leading to symptoms like rumen distention, inappetence, bradycardia, and more. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome with various underlying causes such as injury, inflammation, or mechanical obstruction. T

Digestion and absorption of carbohydrates play a crucial role in the overall metabolism of ruminants and non-ruminants. This process involves various enzymes like amylase, maltase, lactase, and sucrase that break down complex carbohydrates into simpler forms for absorption in the small intestine. Ru

The rumen, an anaerobic fermentation chamber in ruminant animals, houses a diverse microbial community including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, methanogenic archaea, and phages. Methanogens play a crucial role in methane production using fermentation end products. Research aims to explore evidence of in
