Umbilical hernia is one of the most common problems in young calves. This problem occurs in dairy sector as well as in the local farmers. Present study was conducted to compare outcomes of four different techniques of herniorrhaphy. Twenty four young calves (n=24) were divided in 4 groups (A, B, C, and D) which underwent four different surgical techniques. Group A underwent vicryl plus suture material and pants-over-west technique, Group B underwent mesh application with Dexon suture material by using simple interrupted suture pattern, Group C underwent closed method with Nylon No. 3 suture material by using vertical mattress suture pattern and Group D underwent clamp application method with Silk No. 2 suture material by using simple interrupted suture pattern. The result showed that mesh application method was comparatively better with respect to feed intake, body weight gain and healing time. There was no reoccurrence with non-significant hematological changes (p≤0.05). It is concluded that mesh application method is safer than other three techniques and there are no systemic effects of this surgical intervention on calves' health.
脐疝是年轻牛犊中最常见的问题之一。这个问题不仅出现在奶牛场，也出现在当地的农民中。本研究旨在比较四种不同疝修补术的结果。24 头小牛（n=24）被分为 4 组（A、B、C 和 D），分别接受了四种不同的手术技术。A 组采用薇乔缝线加缝线材料和裤子翻面术，B 组采用 Dexon 缝线材料和简单间断缝线模式的网片应用，C 组采用尼龙 3 缝线材料和垂直褥式缝线模式的闭合方法，D 组采用 Silk 2 缝线材料和简单间断缝线模式的夹具应用方法。结果表明，就采食量、体重增加和愈合时间而言，网片应用方法相对较好。无复发且无明显血液学变化（p≤0.05）。结论是，网片应用方法比其他三种技术更安全，这种手术干预对小牛的健康没有全身影响。
