Bovine prolapsed vagina can occur when the cow is near calving, in the late phases of cow's pregnancy (usually last trimester). [1] Sometimes cow's cervix prolapses along its vagina, [5] and such condition is known as the bovine cervico-vaginal prolapse. [3] [6] It can happen that cow's urinary bladder gets contained within the prolapsed vagina ...
Dental pad of domestic livestock. Note the lack of upper incisors and canine teeth. The dental pad or browsing pad is a feature of ruminant and camelids [1] dental anatomy that results from a lack of upper incisors and helps them gather large quantities of grass and other plant matter. [2] [3] This feature can be found in ruminants such as ...
Vaginal prolapse occurs when there is an increase in pressure in the abdominal cavity during the late stages of parturition. [2] It is more common than uterine prolapse and there is a genetic factor in the risk. It is quite common for a vaginal prolapse to occur in the same animal with each calving; uterine prolapse recurs less often.
A cow magnet is a veterinary medical device for the treatment or prevention of hardware disease in cattle. [1] Traditionally, cow magnets were strong Alnico magnets about 1 by 8 cm (0.39 by 3.15 in) in the shape of a smoothed rod, but today they are more commonly several ring-shaped ferrite magnets attached to a stainless-steel or plastic core ...
A cannula in a cow's side. A cannulated cow or fistulated cow refers to a cow that has been surgically fitted with a cannula. [1] A cannula acts as a porthole-like device that allows access to the rumen of a cow, to perform research and analysis of the digestive system and to allow veterinarians to transplant rumen contents from one cow to another.
It was theorized that positive selection for shovel-shaped incisors over the spatulate incisors is more commonly found within cultures that used their teeth as tools due to a greater structural strength in increased shovel-shaped incisors. [2] In some instances, incisors can present a more pronounced version of this called double shovel-shaped.
Teeth clipping in pigs is a management practice in which the sharp tips of newborn piglets' teeth are trimmed or filed to reduce the risk of injury to sows during nursing and minimize aggression-related injuries among piglets.
Mouthing a two tooth grass-fed Murray Grey heifer prior to sale. The age of cattle is determined chiefly by examination of the teeth, and less perfectly by the horn rings or the length of the tail brush; due to bang-tailing, which is the act of cutting the long hairs at the tip of the tail short to identify the animal after management practices, the last method is the least reliable.
