This study was aimed to determine the effect of advanced pregnancy on the topography and size of the omasum in 22 healthy Murrah buffaloes. The omasum was scanned 15-20 days before and after parturition, as per the standard procedure. The dorsal and ventral margins of the omasum were identified and marked at each intercostal space (ICS). The dorsal and ventral limits up to the dorsal midline were measured. The omasum was scanned in 6th to 11th ICS during advanced pregnancy and 7th to 11th ICS after the parturition. Irrespective of the pregnancy, the dorsal and ventral margins of the omasum were located farther dorsal and close to the spine in the 6th, 7th and 11th ICS. Except in one buffalo, the omasum was scanned in four consecutive ICS during the advanced pregnancy. After parturition the omasum was scanned in four and five consecutive ICS in 17 and five buffaloes, respectively. The mean dorsal and ventral limits of the omasum increased significantly (P .
本研究旨在确定妊娠后期对 22 头健康摩拉水牛瘤胃顶叶的形态和大小的影响。按照标准程序，在分娩前 15-20 天和分娩后对瘤胃进行扫描。在每个肋间（ICS）识别并标记瘤胃的背侧和腹侧缘。测量至背中线的背侧和腹侧极限。在妊娠后期，瘤胃在第 6 至第 11 个 ICS 进行扫描，在分娩后第 7 至第 11 个 ICS 进行扫描。无论是否怀孕，瘤胃的背侧和腹侧缘在第 6、7 和 11 个 ICS 中都位于更靠背部且靠近脊柱。除了一头水牛外，在妊娠后期瘤胃在四个连续的 ICS 中进行了扫描。分娩后，17 头水牛中的 4 个和 5 头水牛中的 5 个连续 ICS 对瘤胃进行了扫描。瘤胃的背侧和腹侧极限平均值显著增加（P<0.05）。
