Displaced Abomasum

Lucas Pantaleon

Right displacement abomasum (DA) and abomasal volvulus (AV) are common problems in dairy cows, despite this there is a lack of consensus about its pathogenesis and the many positions that the abomasum takes on the right side of the cow’s abdominal cavity. Mechanisms of displacement and accumulation of gas in the abomasum remains poorly understood for both left and right DA.
