Abstract
A clinical study was conducted in 72 bovines to diagnose various gastro-intestinal obstructive disorders and assess
stress response with surgical management. Among them, 48 animals were selected for surgical management and divided
in to four groups. In group I, 12 animals were subjected to rumenotomy. In group II, six animals were operated for
diaphragmatic hernial repair. In group III, abomasotomy was performed in six animals. In group IV, the selected 24 animals
were randomly divided into two subgroups A and B and laparotomy, enterectomy and anastomosis were performed with
two different anaesthetic protocols. The physiological parameters of temperature, rumen motility, heart rate, pulse rate,
respiratory rate and hematological parameters viz. hemoglobin (Hb) (g/dL), packed cell volume (PCV) (%), TEC (106/
cmm) TLC (103/cmm) were recorded before surgery, immediately, 2, 4, 24 and 48 hours after surgery. Increased
temperature at 24 and 48 hours after surgery and decreased rumen motility were observed. Heart, pulse and respiratory
rates revealed no significant changes between the surgical intervals. In hematology Hb, PCV and TEC levels increased
significantly following 24 and 48 hours after surgery. Leukogram revealed neutrophilia and lymphopenia following 24 and
48 hours after surgery. Significant alteration in serum glucose, serum urea nitrogen and serum total protein were observed.
Serum sodium level was altered significantly whereas no significant alterations were observed in chloride, calcium and
potassium levels.
