Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis in Cattle and Buffaloes: Etiology, Clinical Signs, Diagnosis Management

Traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP) is one of the most significant and economically important gastrointestinal disorders of cattle and buffaloes. The condition arises primarily due to the ingestion and subsequent penetration of sharp metallic foreign bodies through the reticular wall, leading to localized or generalized peritonitis. Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, TRP continues to pose major challenges in both organized and unorganised dairy farms. This book provides a comprehensive account of TRP, integrating classical knowledge with contemporary diagnostic and management approaches. Detailed etiology, clinical features and diagnosis of the disease are discussed systematically, highlighting both typical and atypical presentations to aid field-level diagnosis. Modern and conventional diagnostic modalities-including radiography, ultrasonography, and exploratory techniques, are critically reviewed for their practical applicability. Therapeutic and management strategies, encompassing conservative medical management, magnet therapy, and surgical interventions are elaborated with clinical insights drawn from field and hospital experiences.
