A Jersey crossbred non-pregnant cow was presented with a history of anorexia and dysphagia. The cow was unable to swallow anything. Physical examination and oesophageal palpation revealed a enlargement in the left lateral neck region. An attempt to pass a stomach tube failed, indicating oesophageal obstruction. After sedation and manual intervention, a foreign body composed of groundnut cake and feed material was retrieved. The condition of the cow improved following the removal of the obstruction.
