How is rumen bulging treated?

author:Anglo-American Feed Teacher Lai

Rumen mushroom is a disease caused by eating excessive amounts of forage that is easy to ferment, over-fermentation with the participation of rumen bacteria, and rapidly producing a large amount of gas, causing the rumen to expand sharply!

01

pathogen

Foamy inflatable: feed on a large number of pods, feed too much concentrate, concentrate too fine or granular feed.

Non-foamy bulging: obstruction of the esophagus, chronic rumenitis, hypocalcemia, excessive concentrate leading to lactic acidosis, prolonged lying on the side, chronic pneumonia.

02

symptoms

Sudden onset, sudden onset 15 minutes after the most acute feeding, short course of illness, acute illness, dilation of the left side of the waist, elastic compression, drumming sound on percussion;

Anorexia, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, purple mucous membranes, walking and swaying, falling to the ground, death.

03

diagnosis

The condition was acute, and a large amount of feed that was easy to ferment was ingested, and the left humerus was visibly inflated and breathing was difficult.

The method of inserting the gastric tube is used to determine whether it is foamy or non-foaming, inserting the gastric tube, only intermittently discharging a small amount of gas from the catheter, exhaust difficulty, foam type, non-foam type, exhaust patency, expansion significantly reduced.

prevention and cure

treat:

Puncture deflation in severely ill animals:

Rumen incision, but be careful not to deflate too quickly. Otherwise, it will cause cerebral ischemic shock, usually with a cannula needle for rumen puncture and deflation.

Milder diseases can stop fermentation:

20-30ml turpentine, 10-20g of fish stone fat, 30-50ml of alcohol, warm water to taste, mixed once for internal use;

You can also fill flax oil or clear oil 500ml, aromatic ammonia 40ml, turpentine 30ml, camphor 30ml, often water appropriate amount, one filling;

For foamy rumen puffing can be filled with antifoam:

Dimethyl silicone oil (bovine 2-4 g, sheep 0.5-1 g), anti-swelling tablets,

Can also be used turpentine 30-40ml, liquid paraffin 500-1000ml, often water an appropriate amount of one time internal administration,

Or with rapeseed oil (soybean oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil) 300-500ml (sheep 30-50ml), warm water.

Regulate the pH of rumen contents with 3% sodium bicarbonate solution;

exclusion of gastric contents, with the use of salts or oily laxatives;

Inoculate the rumen juice of healthy cattle to restore rumen function.

Prevention: Strengthen feeding management, limit the intake of legumes, limit the time to eat grass every day, and feed hay before eating grass.
