This study aimed to describe the clinicopathological and necropsy findings in neonatal dairy calves affected with right torsion of the abomasum.
The history and findings of clinical examination, hematology and serum biochemical analyses and necropsy were described in six neonatal Holstein calves with a confirmed diagnosis of right torsion of the abomasum. Furthermore, a review of the literature was carried out using internet search engines such as PubMed and Google Scholar concerning abomasal displacement in calves. Only published papers in scientific and refereed journals were reviewed.
Six neonatal Holstein calves (four females and two males) aged between 7 and 21 days were diagnosed with right torsion of the abomasum during necropsy. The calves were presented with peracute signs of anorexia, dehydration, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension. Hematology and serum biochemical analyses revealed hemoconcentration and azotemia, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and hypokalemia.
Abomasal torsion in neonatal calves must be placed on the deferential diagnostic list of calves suffering from peracute signs of abdominal pain and distension. Although the underlying etiopathological factors are not fully known, correction of nutritional mismanagement is required to prevent the condition.
本研究旨在描述患有皱胃右扭转的新生奶牛犊的临床病理和尸检结果。
描述了6头确诊为皱胃右扭转的新生荷斯坦犊牛的病史、临床检查结果、血液学和血清生化分析以及尸检情况。此外，使用诸如PubMed和谷歌学术等互联网搜索引擎对有关犊牛皱胃移位的文献进行了综述。仅对科学和经评审期刊上发表的论文进行了综述。
6头年龄在7至21天之间的新生荷斯坦犊牛（4头雌性和2头雄性）在尸检时被诊断为皱胃右扭转。犊牛表现出厌食、脱水、腹痛和腹胀等急性症状。血液学和血清生化分析显示血液浓缩、氮质血症、低钠血症、低氯血症和低钾血症。
新生犊牛皱胃扭转必须列入患有急性腹痛和腹胀症状犊牛的鉴别诊断清单。尽管潜在的病因病理因素尚不完全清楚，但需要纠正营养管理不当以预防该病。
