Abstract

In most situations, LDA can be treated successfully using the right-flank, left-flank, ventral-paramedian, or roll-and-toggle methods. Following LDA correction with the roll-and-toggle procedure, 74 cows experienced no greater cull rate than did unaffected herdmates. This and other studies demonstrate that the roll-and-toggle procedure can produce roughly comparable survival results when compared with the more time consuming and expensive surgical interventions.
