Abstract

Few studies report long term information on how cattle perform following rumen surgery. The purpose of this study was to gather information from medical records of cattle having rumenotomy or rumenostomy to determine how these cattle functioned following surgery. The objective of the study was to determine if there were any preoperative factors (clinical signs, radiographic findings, laboratory values, etc.) that were correlated with outcome.
