“…Plastics(41.20%) were the most common foreign bodies recovered, followed by clothes(22.05%) and ropes(17.65%), findings similar to the work done by [20] and [21]. The highest prevalence of plastics might be due to improper disposal of plastics, and as well shortage of feed which is a common problem in current study area.…”

A cross-sectional study methods and systematic random sampling approach was used from November, 2020 to April, 2021 at Boko Town slaughter house of Fedis district, Eastern Ethiopia, with the objectives to assess the prevalence of rumen and reticulum foreign bodies, identify the types of foreign bodies and the associated risk factors for the occurrence of foreign bodies. From the total of 384 examined cattle, 136(35.40%) were found positive for the occurrence of indigestible foreign bodies in rumen and reticulum. Out of 136 positive cases of foreign body, 102(75%) were occurred in rumen, 31(22.80%) in reticulum. Plastics(41.20%) were the most common foreign bodies detected, followed by clothes (22.05%) and ropes(17.65%). There was statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in Prevalence among different sexes, age and body condition scores group; higher prevalence was observed in female (50%),old animals (50%) and poor body conditioned animals (55%). Therefore, sex, age and body condition score were considered as potential risk factors associated with occurrence of foreign body in rumen and reticulum. To conclude, this study shows that the grazing areas were contaminated With plastics, clothes, and other indigestible materials, could pose serious health problem for free grazing animals. Therefore, Awareness creation should be made on disposal and cleaning of indigestible materials in the grazing area.

“…In the same survey, A total of 384 sheep and goats were selected using systematic random sampling method and 118 of them (30.73%) were found positive for foreign bodies in their rumen and/or reticulum Nigussu Fasil [7]. In Teshome and et al investigation the prevalence of foreign bodies in Abattoir, was significantly higher in sheep (29.6%) and goat (16.7%) than cattle (14%) Teshome [6]. In this study, the outbreak of disease was happened and 6.25 % had the clinical signs, but obviously the present of foreign bodies, with no clinical symptom, was significantly more.…”

“…The presence of foreign materials in the rumen and reticulum hampers the absorption of volatile fatty acids and consequently, reduces the rate of animal fattening Igbokwe [4], Roman and Hiwot, [5], Tesfaye [3]. The prevalence of foreign bodies in sheep in different studies were as 9, 29, and 30 in abattoir investigations Tesfaye [3]; Teshome [6], Nigussu Fasil [7]. The most foreign bodies identified were plastic bags, then rope and cloth Abebe & Nuru [8], Roman & Hiwot [5]; Sheferaw [9]; Tesfaye [3].…”

Background: Small ruminants are known to play a very important role in food security in developing countries such as Iran.Objective: The objective of the study was to identify types and estimate the prevalence of foreign bodies in the rumen and reticulum of involved sheep in the area, and also to evaluate the surgical approach prognosis.Results: Epidemic occurred in northwestern of Iran. After referring two cases with ruminal impaction to Tehran Veterinary Hospital, a precise clinical examination, epidemiology study, and a herd survey were done. Ultimately, surgery was selected to correct the problem. The incidence and mortality of the disorder were recorded 6/25% and 3.3% respectively. The prognosis of surgical approach was estimated 90%. On clinical examination of the ram revealed dullness, dehydration, scanty faeces and slight distension of the abdomen at paralumbar fossa. The number of respiration increased, and breathing was accompanied by groan and difficulty in breathing. The foreign bodies were about 2 kilogram in weight and was comprised of rope and plastic in mixed with feces. Conclusion:It was concluded that large economic losses occur due to ingestion of foreign bodies in sheep. It's conducted that ruminal impaction can result of grazing sheep in polluted pastures with plastics or ropes or other indigestible material or in poor pastures that result in ingestion even the rare foreign bodies. In addition, it was concluded that surgical approach can be helpful in these cases with acceptable prognosis.

“…In this study significantly higher prevalence rate observed for indigestible rumen and reticulum foreign bodies in sheep and goats in poor body condition followed by medium and thin body condition and disagrees with previously reported low prevalence rates in animals in good body condition reported at Kenya by Otsyina et al, 19 similarly this study was agrees with previously reported high prevalence rates in animals in poor body condition followed by medium and thin body condition. 21,22 This may be because of thin body condition animals consuming without selection to compensate there energy balance. As a result poor body condition of animals with indigestible foreign bodies was attributed to reduction in volatile fatty acids absorption from rumen and this result in inappetance, abdominal distension, reduced weight gain, lack of defecation with consequent emaciation and recumbence.…”

Cross-sectional study was carried out from August 2017 to November 2017 to assess the prevalence of foreign bodies in a rumen and to identify their type and associated risk factors in the slaughtered animals at Maandeeq abattoir. A total of 500 small ruminants were examined in the study. Systematic random sampling was employed to select the animals. Out of these, 33% (165/500) were had indigestible foreign bodies in the rumen and reticulum. The prevalence of foreign bodies was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in goat, 40.0% (78/195) than in sheep 28.5% (87/305). Odds ratio (OR) analysis indicated that goats were 1.67 times likely shown to acquire foreign body in rumen and reticulum than sheep (OR = 1.670 CI=1.143-2.441). Statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) in the prevalence of indigestible foreign material were observed between female (36.19%) and male (27.57%), Besides, Significantly (P < 0.05) higher prevalence was observed in old aged (>3 years) shoats (53.85%) than young (<2 years) aged animals 16% as well as significantly higher prevalence was reported in thin body conditioned animals (46.67%) than good body conditioned (22.33%). Considering the origin of the examined animals, highly significance (P < 0.05) prevalence was observed in urban (53.33%) than rural area (26.18%). Most commonly foreign bodies encountered were mixed foreign bodies (13.4%) followed by plastic bags (9.8%), clothes (5.80%), robes (2.2%), metals (1.2%) and stones (0.6%) due to environmental pollution at the origin of the animals that may adversely affect the overall productivity and production. Proper waste management and creation of awareness for animal owners are necessary to avoid the risk of foreign body ingestion by the small ruminates.Ingestion foreign bodies in rumen and reticulum of shoats in hargeisa, Somalia: prevalence and the associated risk factors 68Copyright: ©2018 Omer Citation: Omer AM.
