| Popis: | Summary Electromyographic (EMG) recordings of the reticulum, abomasal corpus, pyloric antrum and duodenum of six dairy cows with left displacement of the abomasum (LDA) were made in order to substantiate abomasal atony as a prerequisite to abomasal displacement. EMG recordings were made when LDA was present as well as when absent. Mean values were determined in five of six cows for the maximum peak or amplitude, mean peak values, peak-to-peak interval and count of the electrical response activity (ERA) for each 15 min segment of the waveform recordings. Segments containing phase III migrating myoelectric activity were not analysed. LDA positive periods were compared to LDA negative periods in each cow. The 6 h period (transition period) prior to the diagnosis of LDA was analysed separately. Paired t-tests were applied to group values with statistical significance established at the P = 0.05 level. There was a significant decrease in the ERA count during the LDA positive periods in the abomasal corpus (-1.40% to −7.88%, P = 0.0217) and in the pyloric antrum (-2.05% to −11.98%, P = 0.0430). A corresponding significant increase occurred in the peak-to-peak interval. During the transition period spike activity in the duodenum increased 0.5 % to 48.31 % (P = 0.0474) and the peak-to-peak interval was significantly decreased. No extended periods of atony were observed in the abomasum during this study. |
