Abstract

The study was aimed to investigate the occurrence and prevalence of intestinal intussusceptions in bovines. A total of 228 suspected bovines with anorexia were included in the study. All animals were subjected to detailed blood, rumen liquor and rectal examination. Based on clinical examination, seven animals suspected for intussusception of varying degree were corrected surgically by enterectomy and anastomosis. Out of seven, five animals recovered uneventfully.
