Q

Chronic rumen indigestion that its the result of another disease (endotoxemic infection, abomasa disease, metabolic disease)

A

Secondary Rumen Indigestion

17
Q

CS of Primary Rumen Indigestion

A
  • Acute anorexia = rumen motility is reduced to absent

- Diarrhea within 24 hrs

18
Q

CS of Secondary Rumen Indigestion

A
  • Rumination absent
  • Rumen underfilled
  • Depressed fecal production +/- diarrhea
19
Q

Tx of mild rumen indigestion

A

Self correcting

20
Q

Tx of Rumen Indigestion

A
  • Rumen transfaunation (repeat for 2-3 days)

- Increase rumen fill (20-30 L of fluid +/- other things)

21
Q

What is most important about rumen transfaunation?

A

It must be adapted to patient’s expected ration (ie: Dairy cow eating TMR to dairy cow eating TMR)

22
Q

What is the minimum amount of rumen fluid for rumen transfaunation, and what is the best amount of rumen fluid?

A 
Min = 3 L
Best = 8-16 L
