Description

Red Plastic Corkscrew Trocar to relieve bloating in cattle & sheep & Goats, Leave the hollow cannula in after point is removed to allow gas to escape. Puncturing the rumen with the standard trocar and cannula is much less traumatic than an emergency rumenotomy and has been used by livestock producers and veterinarians for the emergency release of froth and gas in bloat. The standard-sized trocar and cannula are adequate for the release of gas when the gas cannot be expelled with a stomach tube and when an emergency rumenotomy is not necessary. A small skin incision about 1 cm long must be made before the trocar can be inserted through the abdominal wall in the middle of the left paralumbar fossa After inserting the trocar and cannula into the rumen, remove the trocar and leave the cannula in place, allowing the froth or gas to escape. The froth may be viscous, so it may be necessary to insert a piece of wire into the cannula to stir the froth. The cannula may be left in place for several hours or even a few days if bloat persists, with regular checks to ensure that the cannula is not blocked. Anti-foaming agents may be administered through the cannula directly into the rumen. The trocar and cannula are also useful when an opening into the rumen is necessary for several days.
