| dc.description.abstract | The present clinical study was conducted on 33 apparently healthy animals (17 cattle, 16 buffaloes) and 64 clinical cases suffering from abdominal/thoracic disorders. The unhealthy animals were divided into six groups, Group I-diaphragmatic hernia (n=15), Group II-reticular abscess (n=5), Group III-omasal impaction (n=7), Group IV-reticular foreign bodies (n=19), Group V- intestinal disorder (n=9) and Group VI-pericarditis (n=9). The study was conducted to establish the ultrasonographic topography of the reticulum and omasum in apparently healthy and unhealthy animals. On ultrasonography, the reticulum of healthy animals was seen more dorsal on the right side as compared to left. In apparently healthy non/early pregnant cattle, reticulum was seen at fifth ICS from the right (83.3%) and left sides (75%), whereas in the non/early pregnant buffaloes, it was seen upto sixth ICS only. In all late pregnant cattle and buffaloes, reticular wall was seen at fifth ICS from both the sides. The reticulum of pregnant bovine was comparatively larger as compared to non pregnant animals. The omasum was visualized at the 8th and 9th ICS in all the animals irrespective of pregnancy. The omasum was more dorsally located in cattle as compared to buffaloes and similarly in pregnant as compared to non/early pregnant animals. No significant difference was observed in the vertical and horizontal diameter of the omasum in bovine. Mild motility was recorded in 23.5% cattle and 43.8% buffaloes. In reticular diaphragmatic hernia, motile reticulum was visualized closer to the thoracic wall at the right fourth ICS (93.3%) as compared to the left (33.3%), where it was seen medial to the heart. In animals with diaphragmatic hernia, the omasum was small (upto 4 ICS), located more cranially and showed prominent contractions in comparison with healthy animals. In animals with omasal impaction the vertical diameter of the omasum was significantly larger as compared to healthy animals. Scanning of omasum at the 12th ICS and having a size of more than 6 ICS is suggestive of omasal impaction. | |
