Abstract

It seems unlikely to cite pregnancy and parturition as direct causes of displacements as displacements have occurred in adult dairy bulls, cows in the middle of lactation, and in heifers (13). Certainly the gravid uterus and parturition must be considered as predisposing factors as nearly 80% of abomasal displacements occur in the first month postpartum (14).
