| Description |
The aim of the study was to find out the prokinetic effect of metoclopramide in clinical cases of bovine rumen impaction caused due to dietary disturbances. Six Hallikar bullocks with history of anorexia and suspended rumination were selected for the study. Although with normal vital signs, clinical examination of left paralumbar fossa revealed depressed rumen motility with a firm to hard rumen. A small and hard rumen were observed upon rectal examination. Rumen fluid examination showed a pH of 5.5 - 6.0 with reduced protozoal activity. The clinical cases were diagnosed as rumen impaction and were treated successfully with Inj. Metoclopramide, fluids and Vitamin B-complex injections.
