An inflatable bag of 250 ml at the pressure of 2 mm Hg inside the abomasal lumen was used to identify the abomasal smooth muscle tone. Reduced tone of the ovine abomasum was assessed, like for the fundic part of the canine stomach, in relation with the cyclic motor activity of the proximal duodenum. Opposite effects were obtained following parasympathomimetic drug injection versus peptides of the gastrin group, suggesting a high responsiveness of the abomasal smooth muscle tone to both neural and hormonal influences.

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are key molecular factors of the cell and have been reported to play an important role in maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the abomasum. This study was designed to determine the regional distribution, cellular localization and expression of several IFs, including CK8, CK18, CK19, vimentin, desmin, peripherin and nestin, as well as the connective tissue component laminin, in the bovine, ovine and caprine abomasa. Immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated varying levels of expression of CK8, CK18, CK19, vimentin, desmin, nestin, peripherin and laminin in the bovine, ovine and caprine abomasa.

Background: Displaced abomasum (DA) is one of the most important metabolic disorders of dairy cattle. In DA, ischaemic damage may occur as a result of impaired perfusion due to abomasal displacement, which may result in gastrointestinal mucosal damage.
Objective: Investigation of gastrointestinal tissue damage in cattle with right displacement of the abomasum (RDA) and left displacement of the abomasum (LDA) using intestinal-related biomarkers.

The genus is the major abomasal parasite of ruminants responsible for substantial economic losses in tropical and temperate regions. This study was conducted to clarify the morphometry and molecular characterisation of species isolated from sheep in Babati district, Tanzania. A total of 486 trichostrongylid nematodes were recovered from five sheep.

A previously developed abomasal infusion device was modified for easy and successful placement of infusion lines into the abomasum of dairy cows. Similar to the original device, the modified device consists of 2 pieces: an insertion tool and a delivery tool. Updates include streamlining both the insertion and delivery tools by slightly altering dimensions and design, then smoothing all rough edges.

A 10-year-old female goat was presented to the clinic with lethargy, emaciation, and pale mucous membranes. Laboratory diagnosis revealed severe anemia with regenerative character as well as melena. Blood transfusions were administered, but the animal's condition continued to deteriorate, so it was euthanized.
