It was a diagnostic finding that showed the cow’s true stomach, called abomasum, had been displaced to the left side. Treatment for abomasal displacement may sometimes require surgery. DIFFICULT UNDERTAKINGThe most common cause of abomasal displacement in dairy cattle is abnormal fermentation in the rumen because of feeding too much concentrate or easily digestible starch. Most dairy cows get abomasal displacement in the early lactation but it can occur at any time. Beef cattle appear less vulnerable to abomasal displacement than dairy ones.
