ABSTRACT
Sharifi H, Ebrahimi PR, Hooshyar SH, Kavoosi F, Tavakoli M.,
Cumulative incidence of traumatic reticulo-peritonitis
in dairy herds, Onl J Vet Res., 18(11):
875-879, 2014. Traumatic reticulo-peritonitis
(TPR), colloquially referred to as ‘hardware’ or ‘tyre
wire’ disease, has become increasingly common and is particularly challenging
to manage because the clinical presentation is often vague. We report the
cumulative incidence of TRP among dairy herds in Tehran province. Disease
events were recorded by farmers and veterinarian during March and February
2008. Amongst 10,506 cows, 146 were affected (1.4% cumulative index). The index
was 0.7, 0.9, 2.6, 2.7, 2.7 and 2.3 from the 1st to 6th
parturition respectively, suggesting that incidence may have increased with
parturition.
