Abstract

Vagus indigestion was diagnosed in seven cows and five buffaloes. Two types of stenosis were distinguished. Pyloric stenosis in two cows and reticulo-omasal stenosis in five cows and five buffaloes, were recorded. Differentiation between the two forms was explained. Anaemia and decreased serum iron were reported in the two forms of vagus indigestion, while hypochloremia, hypokalemia and uraemia were charac teristics of pyloric stenosis. Surgical exploration was conducted on six cows and one buffaloe.
