Abstract

During a 12 year period the author examined and treated 171 cases of abomasal displacements in a university referral practice. Forty-nine (29%) of the cases involved right displacement of the abomasum with or without omasal and reticular involvement. Five (3%) of the cases were volvulus of the abomasum, omasum, and reticulum together. These 5 were all dairy cows but only 1 returned to the milking herd.
