  • Title: Routine surgical procedures in dairy cattle under field conditions: abomasal surgery, dehorning, and tail docking.
    Author: Aubry P.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract; 2005 Mar; 21(1):55-72. PubMed ID: 15718087.
    Abstract:
    This article discusses the different methods used for the correction of left displaced abomasum. The advantages, disadvantages, and success rates of each technique are reviewed. The most common complications are described, and the economics of repeat surgery after a failed left displaced abomasum repair are examined. This article also addresses the need for anesthesia when dehorning and tail docking dairy cattle. The justifications for routine use of these two procedures are discussed, mainly from an animal welfare standpoint.
