- Abstract
The aim of this study was to report a case of vagal indigestion associated to chronic bloat relapsing by Trifolium repens intake. In a farm from Uruguaiana, a necropsy of a bovine Hereford breed was performed. The animal showed clinical sign of bloat due to the high intake of Trifolium repens. There was failure belching by vagus nerve compression because of repeated distensions of the rumen, leading to vagal injury followed by ruminite, ruminal atony, and consequently peritonitis. The death was due to septic shock.
