Abomasal diseases

Abstract

Functional disorders of the abomasum can be divided into those resulting in any kind of displacement of the abomasum and those only associated with a decreased motility or emptying. The latter are often associated with the term “Hoflund syndrome” or “vagal indigestion”. In fact the Hoflund syndrome is not one single syndrome, but it consists of several different syndromes. However, the term “Hoflund Syndrome” is generally used to indicate abomasal functional disorders with decreased motility or emptying and without displacement.
