In deciding whether or not to treat cattle with left-sided abomasal displacement, economic factors play an important role. The loss suffered on surgical treatment involving laparotomy is determined by the cost of treatment, the loss of production and the result of treatment which can be expected. A computer will assist in calculating that, when the likelihood of successful treatment varies from 70 to 80 per cent, surgery by laparotomy will only be preferable to culling when the animal shows a level of production, which is obviously above the average. Of the alternative methods of treatment, the roll-and-suture procedure will markedly affect the choice in favour of treatment in view of the smaller cost of therapy when the result of treatment is satisfactory and the drop in production may be smaller.
在决定是否对患有左侧皱胃移位的奶牛进行治疗时，经济因素起着重要作用。涉及剖腹术的手术治疗所遭受的损失取决于治疗成本、生产损失以及预期的治疗结果。计算机将有助于计算出，当成功治疗的可能性在70%至80%之间变化时，只有当动物的生产水平明显高于平均水平时，剖腹术手术才比淘汰更可取。在替代治疗方法中，鉴于当治疗结果令人满意且生产下降可能较小时治疗成本较低，滚转缝合手术将明显影响选择倾向于治疗。
