However, development this
sector is hampered by different constraints and has not been fully exploited
the benefit of indigenous livestock compared to its tremendous potential. Significant
losses result each year from the death of animals as a result of lack of
appropriate veterinary services, lack of attention from government, wide spread
endemic disease and recurrent drought. Ingestible foreign body predisposed by
environmental pollution is currently becoming a global health problem of
ruminants and have been implicated as among common causes of sudden death. Different
studies have shown that ruminants reared in urban and suburban areas have high
probability to ingest indigestible materials such as plastic, cloth, wire,
leather and metal. Ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies by animals is
mainly associated with nutritional deficiencies, environmental pollution and
poor feeding management. Read more>>>>>>
