==Description==
This is much less dramatic than a displaced [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] in the dog, and develops chronically.
The abomasum hangs loosely by the omentum, it can move from its normal position to left displcement where it becomes trapped under the rumen or a right displacement Occurs most frequently in heavy yielders on high concentrate diets and in late pregnancy.
** Rearrangement of abdominal viscera in pregnancy is thought to be an important aetiological factor.
==Signalment==
A disease of the cow affecting mainly high yielding dairy cows on high concentrate, fromlate pregnancy to ....post partum period.

"Pings" on auscultation.
Not usually acutely fatal, but results in loss of condition and emaciation if untreated.
