The current study indicated that the complicated sequellae of traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP) in cattle could be efficiently diagnosed by using of ultrasonography and some other diagnostic tools. The affections in these cases included reticulum and spleen with extension to one or more of the other organs such as rumen and abomasum. This study included two groups of animals; one of them kept as a control one (n.=16) and the other was a diseased group (n.= 12). All animals were subjected to clinical examination, whole blood profiling, blood serum biochemical assay, radiography and ultrasonographic examination. Rumenotomy was carried out in some cases. The reticulum was mostly displaced in cases of complicated TRP by a distance of 3-6 cm. Sometimes, the reticulum was not displaced such as in case of diaphragmatic hernia. The reticular contractions in the complicated traumatic cows were either reduced to 2 or 1/3mins, or completely reduced to 0/3mins. Reticular abscess and peritoneal effusions were imaged in all these diseased cases. Here, Vagus indigestion syndrome and diaphragmatic hernia were successfully diagnosed by using of ultrasonography with the aid of radiography and rumenotomy. Ultrasonography was useful in imaging non metal objects (Ropes and plastic tubes) within the rumen especially in cases of severe ruminal distension.

This study provided a full description of the normal ultrasonographic findings of the hepatobiliary system and its blood vessels in Egyptian buffaloes. The reported results particularly those of ultrasonography were compared with the normal reference values of cattle that had been previously recorded. This study was carried out on thirty healthy buffaloes. Complete clinical examination, hematological pictures profiling, blood biochemical analysis of total blood serum proteins, albumins, globulins, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (AP), γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), triglycerides and cholesterol, radiography and ultrasonographic examination were conducted with all these animals. The results showed that the clinical findings, blood pictures and blood biochemical levels agreed with the previously reported reference values of healthy buffaloes. The outlines of cranial abdomen, line of diaphragm and the cardiac silhouette were displayed normally on the radiographs. The acoustic windows for ultrasonographic examination of the hepatobilliary system was the right 11th intercostal space. The gall bladder could not be imaged from the right 12th intercostal space. The description of these normal ultrasonographic findings of the aforementioned organs will be valuable in detection of the abnormalities of these organs.
