Palpation of left paralumbar fossa showed absence of ruminal motility and abnormal heavily impacted rumen. Exploratory rumenotomy was performed and around 50 kg foreign materials including polythene bags, covers and roaps etc. in one cow and around 25 kg in another cow were removed from rumen. Post-operatively, antibiotics, analgesics and fluid therapy administration and regular dressing of operative site was undertaken.
