The abomasum, known as the true stomach, normally lies on the floor of the abdomen, but can become filled with gas and rise to the top of the abdomen and become displaced. |
An excess of energy in the rumen can lead to acidosis, lameness, displaced abomasum and variable intakes. |
Traits the researchers analysed were clinical mastitis, lameness, metritis, ketosis and displaced abomasum. |
These organisms are ultimately digested in the abomasum and small intestine, thus providing the ruminant with protein. |
Diseases related to comfort include lameness, hock or neck injury, mastitis, milk fever, ketosis and displaced abomasum. |
Most, however, have four, the leaf stomach or psalterium being intercalated between the retinaculum and the abomasum. |
