Changes in uterine catheter design and evaluation for abomasum gas depletion in calf

Abomasum bloat in calves is a dangerous disease that can cause sudden death. In this study, the nasal tube used through the nose for the treatment of abomasum flatulence and was placed in the area for several days. The main objective was to remove the gas from the abomasum in the shortest time. Because there is no domestically special gastric tube, the equine uterine catheter modified and used for to drain the gas. Five 1-3 months old calves with abomasaum bloating used for study. Dilated balloon designed at the tip of the nose tube and floating in the dorsal part of the gas in the abomasum contents. Calves suffering from dilatation treated with nasal tube. In a general conclusion with regard to changes in basic benefits such as the symmetry of designing the balloon catheter, adding some holes in the duct near the tip, feasibility and rumination by mouth, the possibility of replacing cuff or tube assembly and the size and cost reduction in comparison with foreign examples are discussed.
