“…This is in accordance with our results. However, percentage of abomasal rolling being unsuccessful was higher in our study, compared with previous work (5.5 compared with 1.5%, [52], respectively). The patient population in our study was possibly preselected by the referring veterinarians, resulting in a study population with a high number of concurrent diseases, as 'easy' cases are often treated in the field.…”

“…This could have resulted in our lower success rate for abomasal rolling. It is also possible that the procedure of abomasal rolling is not successful because of adhesions between the abomasum and the body wall [52]. Lombar and Zadnik (2010) stated that LDA in 58% of cattle could be successfully treated by abomasal rolling, followed by 50 L of an oral electrolyte therapy [53].…”

Lameness is often diagnosed in cattle with left displacement of the abomasum (LDA). Laterality of lying has an effect on the etiology of LDA, and lame cows prefer to lie on the affected limb. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible association between laterality of claw lesion and presence of LDA. The medical records of 252 cattle presented with a diagnosis of LDA and subjected to a diagnostic examination of claw lesions over a period of 11 years (2009–2019), were analyzed retrospectively. Data were evaluated for presence and localization of claw lesion, concentrations of inflammatory markers, and abomasal rolling as therapy. At least one claw lesion was diagnosed in 46.4% of cattle. There was no association between laterality of claw lesion and LDA. Presence of claw lesion or oral drench and/or analgesic treatment did not have an effect on occurrence of relapse. A high number of cattle was diagnosed with both LDA and claw lesions. Focus should lie on preventing painful claw lesions in the dry and the early post-partum period. The high recurrence rate after abomasal rolling suggests that abomasal rolling should only be considered as a therapy for temporary relief, and surgical procedures should be discussed with farmers.

“…LDA could not be treated with abomasal rolling in 7.2% of the cows, which is a higher number compared with 1.5% and 5.5% described by [21] and [13]. In none of the cases did the abomasum move from the left to the right side, which was described in 44.4% of cases by [21]. We did not roll the cows in a 180 degree arc but kept them in left lateral recumbency on a tilt table, whereas [21] did not keep the cows in dorsal recumbency, therefore allowing no time for the abomasum to evacuate the gas to experimentally induce right displacement of the abomasum.…”

“…Moreover, according to the present data, there was no significant difference in the probability of the recurrence of LDA between the cows with no concurrent disease and those with concurrent diseases. LDA could not be treated with abomasal rolling in 7.2% of the cows, which is a higher number compared with 1.5% and 5.5% described by [21] and [13]. In none of the cases did the abomasum move from the left to the right side, which was described in 44.4% of cases by [21].…”

Left displacement of the abomasum (LDA) is a disease often diagnosed in high-producing dairy cattle, resulting in direct and in indirect costs for the farmer, and discomfort and death for the cows. For the present retrospective study, the aims were to assess the effect of treatment on recovery during the time of hospitalization of the cows, to investigate the influence of concurrent diseases on the recovery, and to identify prognostic indicators in laboratory findings. Metritis/endometritis (38.4% of cows) was the concurrent disease diagnosed most often. Conservative treatment (abomasal rolling) was performed successfully in 92.8% of cows; the recurrence rate was 56.7%. Neither treatment with an oral drench nor treatment with analgesics had any influence on the recurrence of LDA following abomasal rolling during hospitalization. Endoscopic abomasopexy as described by Janowitz was performed more often than right flank laparotomy (40.8% and 40.2%, respectively). A significantly (p < 0.01) higher number of cows had the outcome “recovery” compared with “death”. The results of this study show that the outcome after surgery for LDA under clinical conditions does not depend on the method of surgery. Moreover, cows with LDA often suffer from concurrent diseases. If conservative treatment is decided on, farmers should be informed that there is a high recurrence rate, and other treatment options should be discussed.
