Abstract

Abomasal displacement (DA) and cecal dilatation/dislocation (CDD) are 2 common diseases of the alimentary system in dairy cows. A similar etiopathogenesis for both diseases has been postulated. Goals of this study were to investigate the risk factors associated with DA and CDD and to compare both diseases directly.
