“…The ingestion of fruits such as mango and jackfruit, especially during harvest period, as well as the supply of tubers such as manioc or even palm, of inadequate sizes for the animals' chewing capacity, were among the most common causes of esophageal obstruction, corroborating the findings of Souza et al (2011). Fruit and tuberous roots are frequent causes of esophageal obstruction in cattle in Brazil and worldwide (Panziera et al 2016, Mandagiri et al 2017, Pund et al 2018, Sidhan et al 2018). However, other less frequent causes, such as the ingestion of plastic bags, pieces of fabric or leather, pieces of bones, and regurgitation of rumen trichobezoars have been described in the literature (Patel & Brace 1995, Yadav et al 2008.…”

Diseases of the bovine digestive system make up an important group of diseases, often being responsible for significant economic losses in the livestock sector. The current work aimed to carry out a retrospective study of the diseases of the digestive system in cattle diagnosed at the “Clínica de Bovinos de Garanhuns”, “Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco”, from January 1999 to December 2018. In this period, a total of 9,343 cattle were admitted to the CBG-UFRPE, of which 2,238 (24.0%) were diagnosed with diseases of the digestive system. In two decades, the total number of cattle admitted annually by the institution almost doubled as well as the number of cases of digestive diseases. The diseases categorized as mechanical/motor were the most prevalent (33.6%), followed by fermentative (28.4%), gastroenteritis (16.0%), esophageal diseases (9.7%), and diseases of the oral cavity (4.5%). Lesions of the rectum and anus, congenital alterations, and other digestive diseases showed relative frequencies below 4%. Traumatic reticulitis and its sequelae (14.5%) are the most prevalent disorders, followed by simple indigestion (10.1%), esophageal and intestinal obstructive disorders (9.0%), non-specific gastroenteritis (8.6%), displaced abomasum (RDA and LDA) (5.5%), and frothy bloat, ruminal lactic acidosis, and impaction of the forestomach and abomasum, which represented approximately 5% each. In general, these diseases presented a lethality rate of 46.0%, with emphasis on mechanical/motor diseases with a lethality rate of 73.8%. In general, diseases were more prevalent in females, crossbreeds, aged over 24 months, and raised in a semi-intensive system. Diseases of the digestive system increased over the years studied, representing a considerable portion of the diseases that affect cattle raised in this region, which makes up the main milk basin in the State of Pernambuco, confirming its economic and social impact in the region.

“…Pund et al, 2018, removed unripened guava by performing esophagotomy from a crossbred cow which was restlessness, severely bloated, regurgitating oral contents through nostrils. The various obstructive materials removed by esophagotomy were tarpaulin cloth (Sreenu et al, 2001) [13] , leather (Salunke et al, 2003) [10] , coconut (Madhava Rao et al, 2009) [5] , palm kernel (Krishna et al, 2010) [4] , mango kernel (Vishwanatha et al, 2012) [14] , unripened mango (Mandagiri et al, 2017) [6] , and phyto-trichobezoars (Ahiwar et al, 2021 & Gangwar et al, 2013) [1,2] . The reported complications following esophagotomy was surgical site wound dehiscence, luminal stenosis and formation of fistula (Ruben, 1997) [9] .…”

Choke or esophageal foreign body obstruction is common condition in cow due to indiscriminate feeding habits. The most common site of obstruction is caudal cervical esophagus. A 7 year old, crossbred cow was presented with a history of sudden onset of ptyalism, bloated abdomen, respiratory distress, restlessness and swollen caudo-ventral cervical part. Physical examination of cervical region revealed partially movable, two round hard masses. Survey radiography showed two spherical (ball) like structures (6.83⁎6.11cm) at the level of C3-C4 and C5-C6 verterbral junction with an outer radiopaque wall and inner radiolucent part. The manual method of pushing foreign body into abdomen using probang and removal through oral cavity was failed due to complete intraluminal obstruction. Left cervical esophagotomy was performed and two trichobezoars (balls) were retrieved. This surgery proved excellent resolution of clinical signs.
