Abstract
The present study was carried out in 72 cattle to
assess the history and clinical signs related with
gastrointestinal obstructive disorders in bovine.
The history of off feed, ruminal tympany, scanty
faeces and complete cessation of defecation, colic
signs with laboured breathing and the predominant
clinical signs like distended abdomen,
bloat, fluid splashing sound, grunt, ruminal
impaction, abomasal impaction and grinding
of teeth were recorded. The dehydration status
was also estimated. The study revealed that
poor farming strategy of the livestock owners,
managemental errors, lack of the availability of
fodder, poor quality roughage, grain overload,
more access for the distribution of metallic
foreign bodies and excess feeding of tapioca
kernel and sugarcane top alone were found to
be the causative factors for gastro intestinal
obstructive disorders in cattle.
