Abstract
The aim of the present study is to describe the clinical signs and methods for treatment of 32 cases of umbilical region affections in ruminants recorded during a period of 4 years. Umbilical hernias were the most common umbilical region affection recorded (46.8%) especially in female lambs followed by omphalocele (25%), abscesses (18.8%) and patent urachus (9.4%). Umbilical hernias, omphalocele, patent urachus were congenital detected by the animals’ owners shortly after birth. Abscesses were acquired recorded in adult animals, the pus was found only in the subcutaneous part of the umbilical region. Umbilical hernias, abscesses, and patent urachus were surgically repaired with no post operative complication. For omphalocele, high mortality rate was recorded and only one animal survived surgery.
