  7. Ruminant Carbohydrate Engorgement • Grain overload • Lactic acidosis • Carbohydrate intoxication • Grain engorgement • Founder

  8. History • Access to highly fermentable feedstuffs • by unaccustomed animals, or • in larger than normal amounts • May involve several animals in herd • Rapid clinical course

  9. Clinical findings • Abdominal pain • Dehydration (6-12 %) • Diarrhea – fluid, fetid • Splashy rumen, bloat • Depression • Lameness • Scleral injection

  10. Clinical findings • Elevated temp initially, may be subnormal when presented • HR = 80-140 bpm • RR elevated (blow off CO2) • Rumen fluid analysis • pH < 5 • sour odor • protozoa dead, predominance of gram +

  11. Clinical findings • Metabolic acidosis • PCV • protein • Elevated BUN, creatinine, phosphorous • Increased anion gap • Decreased calcium

  12. Pathogenesis • Excess CHO ingestion, VFAs, rumen pH, rumen motility, Strep bovis proliferates producing lactic acid, further pH (4-5) • Acid resistant Lactobacillus spp. proliferate producing lactic acid

  13. Pathogenesis • Lactic acid accumulation in the rumen osmolarity of the rumen fluid drawing more body water into the rumen (creates the “splashy rumen”) • Loss of body water causes dehydration contributing to acidosis • Lactic acid is absorbed from rumen as well as from small intestine & profound lactic acidosis develops

  14. Pathogenesis • Acidic rumen pH damages mucosal surfaces in the forestomachs & intestine • Blood vessels thrombose & sections of rumen mucosa & submucosa slough allowing bacteria to invade • Bacteria travel to liver via portal circulation & cause liver abscesses • Mycotic ruminitis may develop

  15. Pathogenesis • Histamine levels increase • Ethanol, methanol, tyramine, tryptamine production contribute to CNS depression • Thiaminase production may result in development of polio • Death of Gram – bacteria can cause endotoxin release

  16. What feeds can cause carbohydrate engorgement? • Cereal grains • Industrial byproducts (brewers grains, sugars) • Fruits • Tubers (potatoes, sugar beets)

  17. What feeds can cause carbohydrate engorgement? • Finely ground feeds with large surface area promote rapid fermentation • Hay and grass are are not highly fermentable due to cellulose and large particle size • Corn silage usually not a problem because much of CHO already reduced to VFAs in ensiling process and also due to large particle size

  18. Diagnosis • History • Clinical signs and clinical findings • Rumen fluid analysis • CBC, chem panel, blood gas

  19. Therapy • Remove rumen contents • Kingman tube • Rumenotomy • Ice water administration • Procaine pen G (10 million IU, P.O.)

  20. Therapy • Fluid and electrolyte replacement IV • Anti-inflammatory agents –flunixin meglumine (Banamine) • Antibiotics • Antimycotic therapy • Rumen transfaunation • Thiamine • B-complex vitamins

  21. Client education • Make dietary changes very gradually • Addition of antibiotics, HCO3-, and ionophore antibiotics to the feed have been beneficial but do not replace good management • Rumen adaptation may take 6 weeks

  29. Rumen tympany (bloat) • Gas production is a normal occurrence during rumen fermentation • Bloat occurs if eructation is prevented for any reason

  30. Clinical findings • Distended left paralumbar fossa • Discomfort (grunting, colic) • Open-mouth breathing • Anorexia • Salivation • Anxious • Depressed terminally • Sudden death

  31. Types of bloat • Primary • Eructation normal but gas cannot be expelled • frothy bloat – legumes or grain (Strep bovis) • Secondary • Failure of eructation • esophageal FB’s • vagus indigestion • positional • hypocalcemia • pharyngitis

  32. Diagnosis • History • Clinical findings

  33. THERAPY • Free gas bloat • Pass a stomach tube (carefully) either nasogastric or orogastric • If positional, roll cow into sternal recumbency • Force exercise • If hypocalcemia, administer calcium • Rumen stimulents • Rumen trocharization for emergencies only

  34. THERAPY • Frothy bloat • Reduce surface tension • Poloxalene – 2 oz. • Household detergent (Tide 2-3 oz.) • Mineral oil • Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DSS) *All of the above reduce surface tension allowing consolidation of tiny bubbles into a free gas bloat which can be eructated or relieved via tube

  35. THERAPY • Chronic bloat – typically free gas bloat associated with high grain diets that may cause a permanent shift in microflora • Increase fiber in diet & reduce grain • Rumen transfaunation • Temporary rumenostomy in severe cases • May be 2° to another problem such as vagus indigestion

  36. Rumen tympany (bloat)

  37. Rumen tympany (bloat)

  38. Rumenostomy

  39. Client education • Slow adaptation to grain • Limit legume grazing • Poloxalene in feed, molasses, salt or block • Maintain sufficient long stem hay (fiber) in ration to stimulate good rumen motility

  40. Rumenitis, rumen parakeratosis, chronic rumen acidosis • Long-term ingestion of high grain, low roughage diet • Poor appetite • Poor weight gain • Chronic laminitis

  41. Rumenitis, rumen parakeratosis, chronic rumen acidosis • Clinical findings • Hypomotile rumen • Elevated liver enzymes • Rumen protozoa, gram + bacteria

  42. Rumenitis, rumen parakeratosis, chronic rumen acidosis • Chronic exposure to high grain diet • Low rumen pH (5.0-5.5) • Increased propionic & butyric acid which stimulates proliferation of rumen papillae epithelium and even parakeratosis • Fine particle size, less cud chewing, less saliva buffering rumen contents • Damage to rumen leads to liver abscesses

  43. Rumenitis, rumen parakeratosis, chronic rumen acidosis • Treatment includes increasing proportion of long stem hay in the diet

  44. Vagus indigestion syndrome • Motor disturbances which impair passage of ingesta from the reticulorumen and/or abomasum into the lower GI tract

  45. Vagus indigestion syndrome • “Vague” signs • Slow loss of production • Slow weight loss • Poor appetite • Scant, pasty feces • Abdominal enlargement - “papple” shape • Rumen hyper motility, bradycardia

  46. Vagus indigestion syndrome

  47. Vagus indigestion syndrome • Classification: • Lesions anterior to cardia • Lesions at the cardia • Lesions at the reticulum • Lesions distal to the reticulum

  48. Vagus indigestion syndrome • Treatment involves correction of underlying problem • Lymphosarcoma hopeless • Rumen lavage • Rumenotomy to remove contents & ‘shrink’ rumen or to treat reticular abscesses

  49. Vagus indigestion syndrome
