| dc.description.abstract | Obstruction of oesophagus is common in ruminants. However, in small ruminants, it is a rare occurrence. Esophageal foreign body occurs when the animal attempts to swallow an object that is too large or sharp to pass smoothly through the esophagus. Caudal part of esophagus is narrow and wide thereafter, where material is most likely to get struck. Obstruction due to migration of vegetables, phytobezoars and rubber sheets (Ojha and Mohanty, 1970, Umakandhan, 1995, Dilipkumar, 1998) were reported in ruminants. Oesophagotomy is the only corrective surgery in cases where a conservative treatment fails. A case of esophageal obstruction sorghum cob and its successful surgical management through cervical oesphagotomy in kid is placed on record. | en_US |
