    Abstract:
    To clarify the mechanisms underlying the development of displaced abomasum (DA), we repositioned DA in 12 cows by rolling and observed the course of redisplacement using X-ray fluoroscopy. Displacement of the abomasum was observed to follow three patterns: displacement to the left side of the abdominal cavity through the gap formed at the reticulum, atrium of the rumen and ventral sac of the rumen (n=7); displacement to the left side after cranial movement along the diaphragm (n=3); displacement to the right side after cranial movement along the diaphragm (n=2). These differences were considered to be associated with the rumen volume. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the visual observation of the course of DA in dairy cows.
