Many critical illnesses can disrupt acid-base balance, indicating underlying diseases or organ damage. Interpretation of disturbances requires analyzing arterial blood gases, plasma electrolytes, and compensatory mechanisms. Acid-base disorders are classified into respiratory acidosis, respiratory a

Abomasal displacement refers to the movement of the abomasum, a wandering organ in cattle due to loose attachments. This condition can lead to left or right displacement, as well as torsion or volvulus. Various factors such as feeding high concentrate rations, metabolic alkalosis, and other metaboli

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

Detailed examination of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in ruminants is crucial for diagnosing various diseases. Dr. Ranveer Kumar Sinha, an Assistant Professor cum Junior Scientist at Bihar Veterinary College, provides insights into the clinical examination, anatomy, history, and observations rela

Acid-base disorders, involving acidosis and alkalosis, are common in clinical practice. These conditions are characterized by changes in pH levels, with acidemia (pH < 7.35) and alkalemia (pH > 7.45) representing acidosis and alkalosis, respectively. The primary causes of these imbalances lie within
