An one and half year old Jersey crossbred heifer was presented to the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal with the history of recurrent bloat, copious salivation, severe respiratory distress and abdominal distension. Under local infiltration with 2% lignocaine hydrochloride, trocharization was performed on left paralumbar fossa using trochar and canula to relieve the gas from the rumen. Palpable hard mass noticed in the caudal cervical esophagus and attempt was made to retrieve with the hand through the oral cavity was unsuccessful. Oesophagogram revealed barium stasis on ventral aspect between 4 th and 5 th cervical vertebra. As the obstruction could not be relieved by passing a probang, cervical oesophagotomy was performed and foreign body (Trichobezoar) was retrieved without any complications.
