PRACTICAL SUBSTANTIATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OPERATIVE METHODS OF TREATMENT OF RENNET DISLOCATION
Abstract
Increased milk potential of animals often leads to disturbance of substance metabolism and appearance of various diseases. Displacement of rennet causes serious economic damage to livestock farms, including reduction of milk productivity, culling, attrition of sick animals, organization of preventive measures and treatment costs. Moreover, after treatment it is impossible to exclude completely the recurrence of this pathology, in some animals we can diagnose the displacement of the abomasum again. In this regard, the aim of our research was to study the comparative effectiveness of operative methods of treatment of rennet displacement. Two groups of 10 cows each with rennet displacement of different age were formed for the research. As a result of the conducted researches, we found out that application of the method of operative suturing of the rennet to the abdominal wall, in the area of the right hungry fossa, is the most effective and reduces the time of recovery of milk productivity in the cow, as well as minimizes the appearance of recurrences of the disease. Treatment efficiency was 80% in the 1st experimental group and 100% in the 2nd experimental group. Recovery in the 1st experimental group came on average on 12,2±1,4 days, in the 2nd experimental group on average on 10,3±1,2 days. The economic efficiency of using the puncture method of treatment, taking into account postoperative therapy amounted to 49,1 rubles, and the economic efficiency of using the surgical method of treatment by suturing the rennet through the right gluteal fossa, taking into account postoperative therapy amounted to 49,3 rubles.
Keywords: cattle, left-sided rennet displacement, puncture method, suturing method, laparotomy, operative method of treatment.

Introduction
Dislocation of the rennet is a common disease of high-yielding cows that causes significant economic damage to dairy farms. In some farms, cases of the disease are rarely reported, while on some farms the incidence can be significant. According to a number of researchers, the displacement of rennet in cows is observed from 0,5 to 4,5% of the total population. The disease causes great economic damage due to reduction of milk productivity, culling (slaughter) of sick animals, organization of preventive measures and treatment costs. It is established that a cow with displaced rennet gives 557 kg of milk less than a healthy animal, and up to 30% of the loss of production occurs before diagnosis. Up to 10% of cows with this diagnosis are slaughtered or die within a few days (Plemyashov et al. 2023, pp. 48-54; Khusainova et al. 2021, pp. 70-74).
Rumen hypoplasia and hyperplasia of the rennet are caused by inadequate dry matter intake or feeding of finely chopped feed. High-yielding dairy cows over five years of age are more likely to become ill during the winter-spring period. About 90% of cases occur within six weeks of calving. Leftward displacement of the rennet is more common in animals four weeks after calving, and much less common three weeks before calving. Rarely, rennet displacement is recorded in bulls, young stock over three months of age and heifers. In young bulls and heifers, the rennet is more often displaced to the right side. According to statistics, the disease is more common in cattle and less common in sheep and goats. When displaced to the left, the rennet is located caudodorsally between the rumen and the left abdominal wall; when displaced to the right, it is located between the right abdominal wall and the intestine. Displacement of the rennet to the right is often complicated by twisting of the organ, which disrupts the progression of chyme through the digestive tract and leads to intoxication of the organism, damage to other organs and systems, which eventually leads to culling of animals or their death. (Danilkina, 2021. pp. 97-104; Plemyashov et al., 2023, pp. 3-7).
Displacement of the rennet in high-yielding cows should be considered as an expressed effect of multiple factors that generate pathology. Thus, Blednov A.I. et al. (Blednov, 2021, pp. 105-111), found that at cattle-breeding complexes the absence of pasture walking contributes to the emergence of pathology, which are raised on the closed European technology of cold loose housing, where the microclimate for cows is created by air circulation in a covered room. The animals, although moving in pens, but crowding does not allow for full-fledged motoring. In addition, a regularity in the occurrence of the disease mainly in newborn animals was revealed, which is associated with changes in the hormonal background of cows after calving and lack of the necessary amount of minerals. The main reason was the frequent change of cows' feeding ration, and fermentation of fodder masses provoked by this feeding in the pre-gastric tract on the background of hypocalcemia led to the lack of tone of contractions and displacement of rennet.
Diagnosis of the disease should be complex and consist of clinical signs, laboratory tests and ultrasound data. For example, clinical examination of cows with displaced rennet most often registers lethargy, poor appetite, decreased milk yield, pasty feces, sometimes diarrhea and bloating. Often animals have concomitant diseases, namely, mastitis, metritis, retention of the afterbirth, the presence of which can be the direct cause of poor health of animals, which leads to fermentation and accumulation of gases in the stomach (Tashlykova, 2023, p. 39-43).
Braun et al. (Braun et al., 2022, p. 40) analyzed the clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound findings of 1982 dairy cows with leftward rennet displacement (n = 1341), rightward rennet displacement (n = 338), and rennet ingestion (n = 303). They found that the main clinical manifestations were
abnormal behavior in 48,2% of cows, decreased rumen peristalsis in 89,7% and decreased intestinal peristalsis in 61,1%. Percussion and simultaneous auscultation were positive on the left in 96,9% of cows with leftward displacement of the rennet, on the right in 98,5% of cows with rightward displacement of the rennet, and in 99,3% of cows with rennet ingestion. Ultrasonography was useful in diagnosing left-sided rennet displacement in 97,9% of cows and right-sided rennet displacement/narrowing of the rennet in 90,2% of cows. Laboratory findings characteristic of rennet reflux syndrome varied in severity; 83% of cows had hypokalemia, 67% had increased rumen chloride concentration, 67% had increased base excess and 50% had hemoconcentration. Based on clinical signs, the final diagnosis was made in 75,0% of cows with left-sided rennet displacement and 22,5% of cows with right-sided rennet displacement/narrowing of the rennet. Ultrasonography was required for the final diagnosis in another 22,0% of cows with leftward displacement of the rennet and in 53,0% of cows with rightward displacement/narrowing of the rennet. Laparotomy or pathologic examination was required to reliably differentiate between right-sided rennet displacement and rennet twist.
For treatment of dairy cows with rennet displacement, various methods of treatment are offered today: medical, conservative and surgical. In the conditions of modern cattle breeding, surgical methods of treatment of rennet displacement in dairy cows are more often used. According to researches, surgical methods of treatment are more effective in comparison with conservative methods, however, successful carrying out of the operation does not guarantee full recovery of the animal. The overwhelming part of the success of the operation depends not so much on the technique of the operation itself, as on the observance of the rules of asepsis and antisepsis during surgical intervention, as well as the correct treatment and care of the animal in the postoperative period (Valeeva, 2020, p. 4).
According to Proios and Grunberg (Proios and Grunberg, 2023, p. 2887) it is very important to identify preoperative clinical, hematologic, and intraoperative parameters that are associated with a favorable outcome in rennet dislocation. The authors conducted a retrospective study of animals hospitalized in a veterinary clinic over a 6-year period with a diagnosis of rennet dislocation. A total of 234 cows were admitted to the clinic, of which 193 were discharged after treatment and thus classified as survivors. In contrast, 41 animals were euthanized because they had an unfavorable outcome after surgery. Specifically, more severe dehydration, higher heart rate, lower sodium levels, and higher preoperative blood L-lactate and phosphorus concentrations were observed compared to survivors. During surgery, the rennet in non-survivors was markedly enlarged and more frequently kinked than in survivors. The authors point out that these results may contribute to the early identification of animals with poor prognosis requiring more intensive pre- and postoperative care.
Giesteira et al. (Giesteira et al., 2023, pp. 296-297) compared two surgical methods for the treatment of leftward displacement of the rennet in dairy cows. These two methods were compared in terms of milk production at different time intervals: before surgery; on the day of surgery; and at 8, 15 and 30 days after surgery. The surgical methods used in this study were laparoscopy-guided abomasopexy (a method of suturing the pyloric portion of the rennet to the lateral abdominal wall) and right-sided laparotomy omentopexy (a surgical procedure involving the attachment of omentum on a vascular pedicle to an organ to improve blood supply). A total of 126 lactating Holstein-Friesian cows with left-sided ileum obstruction were operated on, 63 of which were treated laparoscopically and 63 by right-sided laparotomy. No differences were found between the two groups of operated cows in terms of number of days of lactation, fatness scale (BCS), rectal temperature, heart rate and
respiratory rate before surgery. No differences were observed between groups with respect to the biochemical parameters analyzed (P > 0.05), except for chloride, which had lower mean values in the omentopexy group (P < 0.05). The return of milk yield during the study period was not significantly different between the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups (P >0,05), although there was a significant change in time since surgery.
To maintain optimal cow husbandry and prevent rennet displacement, it is advised to avoid rapid dietary changes, maintain adequate amounts of roughage in the diet, prevent postpartum hypocalcemia, minimize associated diseases such as endometritis, metritis, ketosis and others. (Bakirov, Hajitov, Ulurmurodov, 2021, P. 210-214; Hertseva et al, 2020, P.21-27; Ruby, 2020 P. 72; Antanaitis et al., 2020, p. 4416).
Thus, rennet displacement is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases in highly productive cows. Survival rate in this pathology depends primarily on early diagnosis and timely treatment.
In this connection, the aim of the research was to study the comparative effectiveness of operative methods of treatment of rennet dislocation.
In order to achieve the goal the following tasks were defined:
1. To study the distribution and causes of rennet displacement in dairy cows in the cattle-breeding complex of LLC «Severnaya Niva Bashkiria» of the Republic of Bashkortostan;
2. To study the features of clinical signs manifestation at rennet displacement in cattle;
3. To analyze the comparative efficiency of two methods of operative treatment of rennet displacement, taking into account the postoperative therapy with the use of drugs: Amoxicillin 150, Flunex, Glucose 40%, Calcium borgluconate, Reviva.
4. To substantiate the economic efficiency of operative methods of treatment of rennet displacement taking into account postoperative therapy in high-yielding dairy cows.
The object of research were high-productive dairy cows, Holstein breed, average weight 600 kg, of different age, in the amount of 20 heads, with the diagnosis of rennet displacement.
The diagnosis was made comprehensively on the basis of:
• anamnestic data;
• clinical examination of the animal, using common methods: examination, percussion, auscultation. The following were taken into account: pregnancy in animals or the period after the last calving.
Measures on treatment of cattle with displacement of rennet were carried out in the cattle-breeding complex of «Severnaya Niva Bashkiria» LLC of Ermekeyevsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
In order to study the efficacy of operative methods of treatment of rennet displacement, two experimental groups of cattle of different ages, 10 animals in each group were formed (Table 1). Feeding and housing conditions were identical.

When analyzing the spread of diseases among cattle, we found that non-specific pneumonia, obstetric and gynecological diseases (metritis, mastitis) and rennet displacement are the most frequently registered. We also found that the number of cases of rennet dislocation is increasing. In 2021, the incidence of rennet dislocation among dairy herds was 4.3%, and in 2022 it was 5.6%.
In 2022, 158 cases of rennet dislocation were reported. Of these, 105 animals used the «puncture method» and 43 had postoperative complications and herd dropout (41%); 53 animals used the «operative rennet stitching method» and only 17 had postoperative complications (32%). Based on the 2022 data, the success rate for the «puncture method» is 59% and for the «operative suturing method» is 68%. In addition, many cows that were treated with the «puncture method» had recurrences of the disease, so in this case the repeated surgical treatment was performed using the «method of operative suturing of the abomasum». Since the beginning of 2023, the farm has been increasingly using the «operative suturing method» for the treatment of rennet pathology.
Most often, abnormalities of the rennet were found in newborn cows, as these animals may have postpartum rushes, retention of the afterbirth, and the cow is weak, depressed and malnourished.
We have analyzed the causes causing displacement of the abomasum in postpartum cows. We identified the following groups of causes:
• displacement of the rennet due to calving, because the vacated space in the abdominal cavity after calving and the small filling of the rumen, give the rennet space, allowing it to displace;
• the presence of secondary diseases in the animal provoke displacement of the rennet, as many diseases lead to the fact that the cow does not show appetite for feed, does not eat, thus provokes fermentation and accumulation of gases in the rennet, resulting in «popping» of the organ;
• consumption of concentrate-rich feed after calving can also increase gas formation in the rennet, leading to its displacement.
The main clinical signs recorded in cattle with rennet pathology are shown in Table 5.
Displacement of the abomasum was most commonly seen in postpartum animals (immediately or one month later), but was also seen in pregnant animals. The cause of rennet displacement was often the presence of secondary diseases such as metritis. As a result of secondary diseases, the general condition of the animals worsened, there was oppression, decreased appetite, which often
provoked the appearance of abnormalities of the abomasum in the form of its displacement. Aggravating factors that can provoke rennet displacement were also: hypocalcemia (leads to decreased tone of rumen muscles, hypotonia of pancreas, decreased feed intake, which leads to rumen acidosis or rennet displacement), feeding a large amount of concentrated feed.

18 (90%) Dark with specific odor pasty consistency feces
20 (100%) Presence of ringing sounds and liquid splashes in rennet (percussion), at percussion with simultaneous auscultation in the last three intercostals - sound of «baseball sword hitting the floor».
During clinical examination of cows with displaced rennet, we noted that body temperature was within normal limits, some animals had increased heart rate and respiratory rate, oppression, decreased appetite, lack of chewing. The main clinical sign was a decrease in milk productivity, which was observed in all animals with this disease.
To conduct research on studying the effectiveness of surgical treatment methods for rennet displacement in cattle, 20 high-yielding dairy cattle of different ages were selected (Table 6).
The cows included in the experiment were continuously monitored for 14 days. Attention was paid to the appetite of animals and their water consumption, the condition of the operation site (puncture or suture site), as well as the dynamics of milk productivity recovery (Table 6).

On the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 14th days, body temperature was measured (by rectal thermometer), pulse was measured (by heartbeat), and respiratory rate was counted for one minute using a phonendoscope.
On the first day after surgical treatment, the general condition of cows in both groups was satisfactory. The animals had cud, appetite appeared a little. Temperature was within normal limits, pulse and respiration were above normal.
On the 14th day of the operation the results of treatment were evaluated. Those animals with no clinical signs of the disease and restored milk production were considered recovered (Table 6).
The results of effectiveness of operative methods of treatment for rennet displacement among high-yielding dairy cows are presented in Table 7.
Table 7. Results of effectiveness of operative methods of treatment of rennet displacement
Indicators 1st experimental group 2nd experimental group
Number of animals, head 20
Diseased, head 10 10
Average duration of disease 12,2±1,5 10,3±1,2
Recovered, head 8 10
Treatment efficiency, % 80 100
Treatment efficiency was 80% in the 1st experimental group and 100% in the 2nd experimental group. In the first experimental group the recovery period took 12,2±1,5 days, in the second - 10,3±1,2 days. We also analyzed the recovery of milk productivity in cows after surgical treatment of rennet displacement (Table 8).
Table 8. Dynamics of milk productivity recovery in cattle
Average daily milk yield, l 1st experimental group 2nd experimental group
Healthy cows, l (average for the farm) 36,8±3,53
1st day 16,06±2,3 16,61±3,7
3rd day 17,11±4,68 22,05±5,15
6th day 24,83±3,58 31,93±3,98
9th day 26,7±3,34 32,28±5,82
10th day 28,96±2,89 33,98±3,85
12th day 29,8±3,54 34,93±3,91
14th day 30,02±3,58 34,77±2,86
According to the data in Table 8, it can be seen that in the 2nd experimental group the rate of recovery of milk productivity is slightly higher than in the 2nd experimental group. Daily milk yield on the 10th day in the 2nd group averaged 33,98±3,85 liters, while in the first group only 28,96±2,89 liters.
Thus, it can be concluded that the method of rennet suturing through the right hungry fossa showed the highest efficiency compared to the rennet puncture method.
Economic damage from rennet displacement in cattle consists of decrease in animal productivity, premature culling of animals and additional costs for treatment and preventive measures (Table 10).

We found that the payback per ruble of invested costs in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups of cattle receiving complex treatment amounted to 49,1 rubles and 49,3 rubles, respectively.
Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. When studying the distribution of rennet displacement in the livestock complex of LLC «Severnaya Niva Bashkiria» we found that in 2021 the percentage of morbidity among dairy stock was 4,3%, in 2022 - 5,6%. Most often, this disease manifested itself in animals after calving, after 2-4 weeks, a significant role is also played by feeding, lack of motility and the presence of concomitant diseases.
2. Among the main clinical signs were observed: loss of appetite, absence of chewing, insufficient rumen filling, appearance of «ringing» or the sound of a «basketball kick» during auscultation and percussion of the last intercostal space. Body temperature most often remained within normal limits.
3. The studies showed that the effectiveness of treatment amounted to 80% in the 1st experimental group and 100% in the 2nd experimental group. The use of the method of operative podshivanie will reduce the time of recovery of the animal and its milk productivity, the risk of recurrence in this method of treatment is minimal.
4. Payback per ruble of invested costs in the first group («puncture method») and the second group («suturing method») of highly productive cows amounted to 49,1 rubles and 49,3 rubles, respectively.
