Abstract

Upper gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) of cattle has considerable biological and economic importance. Efforts have been made to correlate the pathological conditions observed in different parts of upper GIT to explain their clinical importance. In this study, a total of 388 cattle screened of either sex, irrespective of age groups and breeds in western Rajasthan. Post-mortem examination was carried out and various samples of upper GIT which were showing frank macroscopic lesions were collected for further histopathological examination. An overall prevalence of various inflammatory conditions in upper GIT affecting the cattle were recorded as 16.75 per cent. The incidence of inflammatory conditions in various parts of upper gastro-intestinal tract was cheilitis (6.15%), gingivitis (9.23%), stomatitis (7.69%), glossitis (6.15%), pharyngitis (3.07%), esophagitis (4.61%), acute ruminitis (20%), mycotic ruminitis (4.61%), acute reticulitis (4.61%), chronic reticulitis (7.69%), omasitis (6.15%) and abomasitis (23.07%). In the entire research, the most common findings were abomasitis and acute ruminitis.
