This rumen trocar is used for cases of acute bloating of cattle, or in cases of chronic bloating, particularly<br />

of weaned calves, because the repeated insertion of a catheter in the gullet causes irritation and<br />

inflammation of the mucus, leading to the tiresome need for watching the animal and often to<br />

slaughtering it.<br />

Make the puncture in the left side at the bottom of the hollow in the side above the sloping line of<br />

muscle. Preferably incise the skin over a length of one or two centimeters (after a local anesthetic) to<br />

facilitate puncture of the muscle wall and of the rumen. Then insert the trocar in the direction of the joint<br />

between the shoulder and the right leg. After the puncture, withdraw the inner threaded rod and screw<br />

the cannula completely clockwise so that it holds the rumen against the peritoneum, eliminating any risk<br />

of peritonitis. If a space remains between the skin and the trocar disk, use a strip of gauze to hold the<br />

rumen on the muscle wall. To prevent obstruction of the cannula, leave the stylet in place and only<br />

remove it to allow evacuation of gas, several times a day. The cannula can be left in place for several<br />

days, or even a few weeks, without risk of losing it or causing distress to the animal. To remove the<br />

trocar, preferably incise the skin over a length of one or two centimetres and then unscrew it. The wound<br />

closes spontaneously<br />
