The study was aimed to compare the ultrasonographic, radiological and surgical findings in buffaloes suspected for diaphragmatic hernia (DH). Ultrasonography was performed using 3.7MHz curvilinear transducer in 133 buffaloes suffering from fore stomach disorder and 26 were declared positive for DH on the basis of the presence of reticulum at or cranial to 4thintercostal space. These 26 buffaloes were then subjected to standing position radiography using mAs 160–180 and kVp 80–120, and 11 buffaloes were found positive for DH. However, on laparorumenotomy, all 26 buffaloes were found positive for DH. The results show that the buffaloes with reticulum located at or cranial to 4th intercostal space on ultrasonography can be considered positive for DH.
