Abstract
Intussusception was diagnosed in 5 adult crossbred cows. Colicky signs preceded other symptoms of obstruction. Sausage like mass was palpated per rectally just below and to the right of pelvic brim in 4 cases. Intussusception was noticed more in jejunum and ileum. Intestinal resection and end to end anastomosis was done through right flank laparotomy. Postoperatively, cattle were treated with fluid therapy, broad spectrum antibiotic, analgesic and rumenotoric. Three cattle passed dung same day while 2 cattle on 2nd day postoperatively. Uneventful recovery was observed in these cases.
