Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 320 cattle in Sicily with umbilical pathologies, primarily affecting high-producing dairy breeds, and found simple omphalocele to be the most common injury, particularly in young females.
- Surgical treatment, mainly through herniorraphy with autologous reinforcement, proved effective, as follow-ups showed most animals healed successfully after surgery.
- The findings emphasize the importance of proper birth management in cattle farming to prevent umbilical complications and ensure the health of the livestock.
