Abstract

Present study was conducted on 5 cattle and 3 buffaloes suffering from affections of rumen. The animals were presented at Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex for treatment. Four of these animals (2 cattle and 2 buffaloes) had history of ingestion of metallic foreign bodies. Two cattle had traumatic rumen fistula and 1 buffalo showed acute tympany.  Metallic wires and a long iron rod were recovered from cattle. A knife, spoon, wire, nut and stone were removed from the buffaloes. The operative procedures and outcome are discussed here.
