Abstract

This study was made to determine possibility of the electromyographic diagnosis of the experimentally induced adhesion of rumen to abdominal wall in goats. In goats with experimentally induced ruminal adhesion, the electromyograms were recorded at the abdominal wall accompanying with the ruminal motility. There were, however, no electromyographic recordings during ruminal motility in goats without ruminal adhesions. It was concluded that the electromygrams could be available for the diagnosis of the ruminal adhesion to abdomieal wall in ruminants.
