    Abstract: Cattle play significant contribution in Ethiopian economy as source of meat, milk, drought power, income and foreign exchange. Gastrointestinal foreign bodies are among the most common surgical emergency in veterinary medicine. Swallowed metallic object such as nails or piece of wires, fall directly into the reticulum or pass in to the rumen and are subsequently carried over the rumen reticular folds into the carnio-ventral part of the reticulum. Cattle are more likely to ingest foreign bodies than small ruminant since they don’t use their lips for prehension and are more likely to eat a chopped feed. The condition is more common during drought because animals are grazing closer to the ground. The object can penetrate the diaphragm and enter the thoracic cavity causing pleuritis. Metal detectors were used at one time to aid in the diagnosis of traumatic reticuloperitonitis. Ferrous metallic foreign bodies can be detected with metal detectors. Foreign bodies have great economic significance associated with reduced production and productivity of animals suffering from them.

    Abstract: Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) remains a huge threat to cattle production in sub Saharan African countries in general and in Ethiopia in  particular. A cross sectional study was conducted between November, 2017 and June, 2018 to estimate the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of CBPP in the Gudeya Bila and Boneya Boshe districts of East Wollega Zone, Oromia Regional State. The study was conducted on 384 cattle with no history of vaccination against CBPP, using systematic random sampling technique. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of each animal and tested by competitive ELISA. Information on risk factors influencing the occurrence of CBPP was collected using questionnaire survey. Data obtained from both serological and questionnaire surveys were analyzed by using SPSS software version 20. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of exposure variables with anti-mycoplasma mycoides subspecies small colony antibodies. The results indicated that, the overall seroprevalence of CBPP at individual animal-level and herd-level was 8.6% and 26.3%, respectively. There was a statistically significant association in the sero-prevalence of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC (MMmsSC) antibody (P 〈 0.05) with the poor body condition score, origin of animals (purchasing from outside of herd) and previous history of CBPP disease at individual animal and large herd size at herd level. This study showed that the overall prevalence of CBPP in study area was high. This warrants the implementation of appropriate preventive and control practice.

    Prevalence of Foreign in Rumen and Reticulum of Cattle Slaughtered at Bedele Municipal Abattoir
    GR Publication ; 2022

    Abstract: A Cross sectional study was conducted on 384 slaugtered cattle at Bedele municipal abattoir to determine the prevalence of foreign bodies in their rumen and reticulum and to identify the common risk factors associated with their occurrence. Rumen and reticulum were thoroughly examined by visual inspection and palpation and all the contents were inspected. The types of foreign bodies were identified after washing. From a total of 384 animals examined, 52 (13.5) were found positive for the presence of foreign bodies in rumen and no foreign body was found in reticulum. The types of foreign bodies detected were piece of cloth, plastics, rope and shoelace. Piece of cloth were the most common with a prevalence of 10.2%. Prevalence of foreign bodies were significantly associated with ade and body condition of the animals (p 〈 0.05). Foreign bodies were more frequent in older cattle ( 〉 8years) than in younger (4-8years). The prevalence of ruminal foreign bodies were highest in poor body conditioned animals compared to cattle with better body condition. The prevalence of foreign body ingestion found in cattle by this study show that littering the environment with piece of cloth and other indigestible materials could pose health problem for free grazing cattle.
