“…This finding is in agreement with the reports of Abebe and Nuru (2011) and (Hailat et al, 1996). Poor body condition by itself might be due to the contribution of the foreign body that is the animal loss weight after it has been exposed or it might be due to the interference of foreign body with the absorption of volatile fatty acid (VFA) and thus causes reduced weight gain reported by (Rahel, 2011;ismael et al, 2007;Remi-Adewunmi et al, 2004).…”

“…Reports from cattle and sheep reared within urban and sub-urban environments indicates that impaction of the rumen resulted from the accumulation of foreign bodies such as plastic bags interfered with flow of ingesta leading to the distention of rumen (Abdullahi et al, 1984;Igbokwe et al, 2003;Remi-Adewunmi et al, 2004). The presence of foreign bodies in the rumen and reticulum also hampers the absorption of volatile fatty acids and consequently reduction in the rate of animal fattening (Igbokwe et al, 2003).…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2015 to March, 2016 at Wolaita sodo Municipal Abattoir, with the objectives of assessments of foreign bodies in rumen and reticulum and associated risk factors for the occurrences of foreign bodies. From the total of 600 examined cattle, 103 (17.16%) were found positive for the occurrence of indigestible foreign bodies in rumen and reticulum. From wich 495 male examined 85 (17.15%) and 105 female examined 18 (17.12%) were found Positive respectively. Prevalence of foreign body occurrence recorded in adult 30 (9.57%) and old 73 (25.6%) respectively while the prevalence rate recorded in thin, medium and fat cattle were 61 (46.9%), 29 (20.84%) and 13 (3.91%). The types of foreign bodies encountered in rumen and reticulum were plastic, nails, wires, needle, clothes and ropes. Out of 103 positive cases of foreign body, 65(63.72%) were occurred in rumen while 38 (36.27%) in reticulum. These aforementioned factors were considered as potential risk factors and found highly significantly associated (p < 0.05) with the occurrence of foreign bodies. The prevalence of rumen and reticulum foreign bodies was lower in local breed cattle (16.29%) than that of the cross breeds (22.78%). There was not spastically significant difference (p= 0.432) between local and cross breed. The highest frequencies of rumen and reticulum foreign bodies observed in cattle originated from Humbo (22%) while the lowest from Sodo (7.84%). There was not statistically significant differences (p= 0.169) among the origin of animals. Thus, appropriate solid waste disposal system need to implement in the study area to prevent health risk of ruminants and environment.

“…This is in contrast with the reports of Remi-Adewunmi et al [6]. However, higher prevalence of indigestible foreign bodies in female sheep and goats have also been reported by other authors [11,12,15,18,20].…”

“…The current finding was different from report of Otsyina HR et al who encountered plastic bags most frequently in sheep and goats in the 2-3 years old age group (37.5%) followed by those in the 1-2 year old age group (24.1%) and absence of foreign material in animals older than 4 years [13] Overall the prevalence of foreign bodies in small ruminant with poor body condition of (45.8%) was significantly higher (p=0.002) than in those with medium (23.2%) and good body condition (15.4% [6,11,15,18,[21][22][23]. This may be because of thin body condition animals consuming without selection to compensate there energy balance.…”

“…Different studies have shown that ruminants reared in urban and suburban areas have high probability to ingest indigestible materials such as plastic, cloth, wire, leather and metal [5,6]. Ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies by animals is mainly associated with nutritional deficiencies, environmental pollution and poor feeding management [7].…”

Background Nowadays ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies poses serious economic loss to domestic ruminants, especially in a developing country. Objectives The study aims to determine the prevalence of indigestible foreign bodies in the forestomach of domestic ruminants slaughtered at Bishoftu Elfora Export Abattoir and its associated potential risk factors and identify the location and type of these indigestible foreign bodies. Study animals On 384 domestic ruminants (171 goats, 125 sheep and 88 cattle) presented for slaughter from different zones of the region. Methods Cross‐sectional study design was conducted from May 2021 to September 2021. Each animal was subjected to ante‐mortem and post‐mortem inspection by providing a unique identification number. For post‐mortem examination, the forestomach was carefully removed from the abdominal cavity. For the positives, the location was properly recorded, washed, identified and photographed. Results The overall prevalence of indigestible foreign bodies in domestic ruminants was 30.73% (118/384). Of these, 32.75% (56/171), 28% (35/125) and 30.68% (27/88) were recorded in goats, sheep and cattle, respectively, without statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). Aged domestic ruminants 39.3% (33/84) had poor body conditions 38.98% (23/59), originated from the Borena zone 42.11% (16/38) and were relatively recorded with higher prevalence. From the forestomach compartments, the indigestible foreign bodies were majorly found in rumen 86.43% (102/118) and reticulum 13.56% (16/118) with a statistical difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion and clinical importance Ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies mainly during the dry season due to shortage of forage, less biodegradable and negligent waste disposal like plastic bags attribute environmental and animal health problems and pose loss to the national economy.
