Abstract

According to a few previous reports, cows with left displaced abomasum (LDA) presenting with diarrhea respond less favorably to surgery and appear to be at a greater risk of removal from the herd compared to cows presenting with normal feces. However, there is a paucity of information in the literature about the probable relationship of Johne's disease (JD) to the higher culling rate.
