| Abstract: | Twenty-two cases of indigestion occurred in a 650-cow herd. Five cows had severe sand abomasal impaction, diagnosed by laparotomy. The pH of prepartum cows' urine was < 6.0 and of sand 8.0. Feed showed a dietary cation-anion difference < or = -110 mEq/kg. After feeding management corrections, no more cases were diagnosed. |
