Abstract

This retrospective study was carried out to document prevalence of TRP and its sequelae in cattle. The prevalence of TRP was studied over a period of one-year (November 2023 to October 2024). The diagnosis of TRP was based on clinical examination, radiography and/or ultrasonography. The prevalence of TRP was 1.97%. The sequelae of TRP were traumatic pericarditis, generalized peritonitis, reticular diaphragmatic hernia and reticular abscess. The prevalence of TRP was highest (p<0.05) during spring season followed by summer, autumn and winter seasons of the year. The prevalence was significantly (p<0.05) higher in younger (< 3year) than older cattle (>6 year), and significantly (p<0.05) higher in pregnant than the non- pregnant cattle. Due to increased occurrence of TRP in Kashmir and India, prophylactic use of magnets should be promoted as a means to reduce the occurrence of TRP. The prevention strategies targeting interventions at younger animals might be most effective.
