A. Atony of the Forestomachs

The stomachs of ruminants are closely associated anatomically and functionally and disease of one usually affects the others.

Simple Indigestion. Simple indigestion is caused by atony of the forestomachs and is characterized clinically by anorexia, lack of ruminal movement and constipation.

The disease is common in dairy cattle because of the variability in quality and the large amounts of the food consumed. The common causes are dietary abnormalities of minor degree including indigestible roughage. Cases occur under excellent feeding regimes and are usually ascribed to over-feeding with grain.

Primary atony caused by dietary abnormality is difficult to explain. Changes is the pH of its contents markedly affect the motility of the rumen and in cases caused by overeating of grain an increase in acidity is probably of importance. High protein diets including the feeding of excessively large quantities of urea, also depress motility because of the sharp increase in alkalinity which results. Atony which occurs after feeding on damaged feeds may have the same basis or due to other unidentified agents in the food.
