“…Their findings included fluid and fibrin between jejunal loops, increased jejunal diameter (mean: 6.76 cm, n 5 2-4 cm) 1 with postobstruction empty loops, absence of motility, heterogeneous hyperechoic intraluminal material corresponding to blood clots, and abomasal distension. 55 Similar findings were reported by other investigators (Fig. 12).…”

“…The condition has been reported in beef and dairy breeds, with a predilection for Holstein and Brown Swiss. 46,47,[54][55][56] Brown Swiss were significantly overrepresented in 1 study. 56 Clinical signs of this peracute disease include recumbency, dehydration, shock, abdominal distension, anorexia, abdominal pain, and lack of feces or the production of tarry feces with blood clots.…”

A wide variety of disorders affecting the intestinal tract in cattle may require surgery. Among those disorders the more common are: intestinal volvulus, jejunal hemorrhage syndrome and more recently the duodenal sigmoid flexure volvulus. Although general principles of intestinal surgery can be applied, cattle has anatomical and behavior particularities that must be known before invading the abdomen. This article focuses on surgical techniques used to optimize outcomes and discusses specific disorders of small intestine. Diagnoses and surgical techniques presented can be applied in field conditions.

“…They are formed when fibrinous adhesions involving the reticulum impair the mechanism responsible for sorting the ingesta, which allows poorly digested feed to move into the abomasum, omasum and duodenum, where it may cause an obstruction of the duodenum [1,2]. In rare instances, coagulated blood may obstruct the duodenum [1,3-5], although this happens more commonly in the jejunum [5]. Trichobezoars may cause duodenal obstruction in calves [6].…”

Duodenal ileus caused by a calf feeding nipple in a cow

BackgroundThe aim of this report was to describe duodenal obstruction caused by a rubber foreign body in a cow.Case PresentationThe clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographic findings in a five-year-old Swiss Braunvieh cow with duodenal ileus caused by a calf feeding nipple are described. The main clinical signs were anorexia, ruminal tympany, decreased faecal output and abomasal reflux syndrome. Ultrasonographic examination revealed reticular hyperactivity and a dilated duodenum. A diagnosis of duodenal ileus was made and the cow underwent right-flank laparotomy, which revealed a dilation of the cranial part of the duodenum because of obstruction by a pliable foreign body. This was identified via enterotomy as a calf feeding nipple. The cow was healthy at the time of discharge four days after surgery and went on to complete a successful lactation.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first description of duodenal obstruction by a calf feeding nipple. This is an interesting case, which broadens the spectrum of the causes of duodenal ileus, which is usually caused by obstruction of the duodenum by a phytobezoar.

ForewordForeword-antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for dairy cattle Antimicrobials are one of the most important medical developments of the 20th century and are used to safely treat many common infections in humans and animals. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when the microorganisms that cause infection, such as bacteria and viruses, become resistant to medical treatment with antimicrobial agents. Australia was one of the first nations to embark on a comprehensive reform process aimed at protecting humans and animals from the harmful effects of AMR and has remained at the forefront of antimicrobial stewardship globally.AMR is recognised as a global health priority due to its adverse effects on public health, animal health, welfare and production, and the economy. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials in humans and animals has accelerated the process. A shared One Health approach, working across the human, animal and environmental health sectors, and promoting antimicrobial stewardship across a range of industries, is a key component of how we address AMR.As a major exporter of high-quality food products, Australia has taken a proactive approach to managing food safety issues, including the use of antimicrobials. Antimicrobials are an essential tool for dairy farmers and veterinarians to ensure the health and welfare of animals in their care. Overall, the Australian dairy industry has very low antimicrobial usage compared to other countries and holds a favourable r...
