“…11 Other pain tests that are commonly used in the diagnosis of Hardware disease include the Williams test, xiphoid/pole test, percussion of the abdominal wall over the region of the reticulum with a rubber hammer and the knee/fist test that involves applying a sudden upward force with the knee or fist in the area of the xiphisternum. 12 The Williams test is a well-regarded clinical examination technique for the diagnosis of TRP and may be more sensitive than the Wither's test for the early diagnosis of Hardware disease. However, it cannot be performed if there is rumenostasis.…”

A three‐year‐old Holstein‐Friesian cow presented at University College Dublin Veterinary Hospital with clinical signs of chronic weight loss, abnormal stance, slight arching of the back and increased left cranioventral lung sounds. Traumatic reticulitis, following the ingestion of a foreign body, was suspected. Radiographs showed the presence of a wire that had perforated the diaphragm and penetrated cranially into the thorax. Ultrasonographic findings included hyperechogenic areas mainly cranioventrally on the left side of the thorax as well as changes indicative of lung consolidation. A standing left thoracotomy to remove the wire was successfully performed under standing sedation and regional anaesthesia. This involved the removal of a portion of the sixth rib to facilitate surgical access. A drainage tube was placed in order to manage the subsequent temporary unilateral pneumothorax. The cow recovered very well postsurgery, went back to the farm and calved four months later.

Ruminants are mostly herbivorous animals that employ rumen fermentation for the digestion of feed materials, including dairy cows. Ruminants consume plant fibre as their regular diet, but lack the machinery for their digestion. For this reason, ruminants maintain a symbiotic relation with microorganisms that are capable of producing enzymes to degrade plant polymers. Various species of microflora including bacteria, protozoa, fungi, archaea, and bacteriophages are hosted at distinct concentrations for accomplishing complete digestion. The ingested feed is digested at a defined stratum. The polysaccharic plant fibrils are degraded by cellulolytic bacteria, and the substrate formed is acted upon by other bacteria. This sequential degradative mechanism forms the base of complete digestion as well as harvesting energy from the ingested feed. The composition of microbiota readily gets tuned to the changes in the feed habits of the dairy cow. The overall energy production as well as digestion is decided by the intactness of the resident communal flora. Disturbances in the homogeneity gastrointestinal microflora has severe effects on the digestive system and various other organs. This disharmony in communal relationship also causes various metabolic disorders. The dominance of methanogens sometimes lead to bloating, and high sugar feed culminates in ruminal acidosis. Likewise, disruptive microfloral constitution also ignites reticuloperitonitis, ulcers, diarrhoea, etc. The role of symbiotic microflora in the occurrence and progress of a few important metabolic diseases are discussed in this review. Future studies in multiomics provides platform to determine the physiological and phenotypical upgradation of dairy cow for milk production.

“…We can detect the presence of abscesses, fluid, or perireticular fibrin [36]. To evaluate reticular motility, it is necessary to observe reticular movements for three minutes [37]. In the case of reticuloperitonitis (Figure 1), in addition to detecting the presence of free fluid and fibrin deposits, we may find that the frequency and amplitude of the contractions decrease due to the adhesions present [35][36][37][38].…”

Acute Abdominal Disorders in Dairy Cattle: What Can Clinicians Do under Field Conditions?

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Acute abdomen (AA) is the term used to define a pathological condition that affects the abdominal cavity and frequently manifests itself with acute clinical symptoms capable of compromising a cow’s life. Therefore, it should be considered as an emergency that should be evaluated as quickly as possible to adopt the appropriate therapeutic measure (medical or surgical). In an AA situation, the clinician must consider the appropriate diagnostic approach as well as the therapeutic choice. Given the emergency, the veterinarian’s experience will be decisive for the appropriate resolution. In this article, we briefly review the causes that may lead to this condition, as well as the different diagnostic tests available in field conditions to establish the correct diagnosis and treatment.
