Volvulus of the Bovine Abomasum and Omasum

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1981
SUMMARY Two cows with right-side volvulus (torsion) of the abomasum and omasum were embalmed, and the viscera were dissected to study the topography and mechanics of the condition. In both cases, the abomasum and omasum were greatly distended and formed a loop with the cranial part of the duodenum.

Physiological aspects of the omasum and abomasum

The Bovine Practitioner, 1972
The abomasum can be envisioned as a structure having a somewhat primitive contractile pattern and the capability of secreting large volumes of acid fluid. In addition, it may have the capacity of absorbing a portion of the chemical products resulting from rumen fermentation.

The metabolism of glucose and butyrate by the omasum of the sheep

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1959
Abstract The metabolism of glucose and butyrate by omasum tissue from the sheep has been investigated. Butyrate, but not glucose, is a potent precursor of acetoacetate. The addition of glucose to the system metabolising butyrate causes a marked stimulation in the oxygen consumption by the tissue.

Histomorphometric analysis of the omasum of sheep during development

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1993
Summary Histomorphometric and scanning electron microscopic analyses were performed on 74 embryos and fetuses and 20 sheep (early postnatal to adult age). Histologic differentiation of the omasum took place at 33 days of fetal life, with the appearance of first-order laminae.

Ultrasonography of the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum before, during and after ingestion of hay and grass silage in 10 calves

Research in Veterinary Science, 2012
The reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum were assessed via ultrasonography in 10 healthy female calves before, during and 2h after feeding hay and grass silage. The evaluations were made using an ultrasound machine with a 5.0MHz linear transducer.

Ultrasonographic examination of the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum during the first 100 days of life in calves [PDF]

Research in Veterinary Science, 2013
The goal of this study was to examine the development of the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum in six calves from birth to 100days of age by means of six serial ultrasonographic examinations.

The Anatomy of the Omasum of some Zambian Game Species

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 1993
SummaryThe gross anatomy of the omasum of 11 different Zambian game species are described. These include Roan Antelope, Sable Antelope, Wildebeest, Kudu, Kafue Lechwe, Puku, Reedbuck, Impala, Bushbuck, Oribi and Duiker. Lamellar area and papilla density and shape are reported.

Ion transport across rumen and omasum epithelium

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1971
Abstract The interior of the rumen in cattle and sheep is normally maintained at a potential of about — 40 mV relative to the blood. This potential depends primarily on the occurrence of an active transport of sodium from rumen to blood, since the potential, short-circuit current and the net sodium flux are simultaneously abolished by

A comparative study of the anatomy of the omasum in domesticated ruminants

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1988
SUMMARY: The structure of the omasum was compared in 10 water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), 10 Shorthorn cattle (Bos indicush), 9 Merino sheep (Ovis aries) and 10 cross‐bred goats (Capra hircus), and the functional significance of the differences is discussed.

Comparative gross anatomy of the omasum of sheep and goats

Small Ruminant Research, 1993
Abstract The omasum of 50 adult sheep (Madras Red Cross) and 50 adult Desi goats (of similar body size in each group) was collected from the local slaughter house. Different parameters (greater curvature, lesser curvature, weight and volume of the organ), in addition to various gross anatomical features, were studied.
