Abstract
The incidence of displaced abomasum (DA) in cattle increases due to intensive feeding. In this study; oral zeolite (2 days; once a day, 1.5 g/BW) was administered in six dairy cows with right (n=4) and left (n=2) DAs as clinically diagnosed. Hipochloremia in two, hypokalemia in one and increased hematocrit in three cases in right DAs and clinical findings as rumen motility, asymmetry in abdominal wall, ping sounds, appetite in both right and left DAs restored following the application except one right DA. As a result, while oral zeolite administration was effective in five cows with right and left DAs, was ineffective in one right DA due to adhesion in the abomasal wall. This new medical treatment method is becoming more common at both academic area and private Veterinarians in our country.
