Abstract

Ping sound is one of the clinical signs of abdominal disorders in cattle with variable frequency and intensity. Practitioners are bound to be fully aware of differential diagnoses. Although reports show that pings are accepted as a key diagnostic indicator for most gastrointestinal conditions, their reliability remains controversial.1,2 The present retrospective study was aimed to assess predictability of the pings as a logical and practical tool for obtaining the correct diagnosis.
