A second-calving Jersey crossbred non-pregnant cow was presented with a history of anorexia and dysphagia. The animal had not consumed feed or water for a day and was unable to swallow. Physical examination and esophageal palpation revealed a mild enlargement in the left lateral neck region. An attempt to pass a stomach tube failed, indicating esophageal obstruction. After sedation and manual intervention, a foreign body composed of groundnut cake and feed material was retrieved. The condition of the cow was improved following the removal of the obstruction. This case emphasizes the need for proper preparation of proper feed to prevent the occurrence of esophageal foreign body obstruction in cattle,
