A disease of the cow affecting mainly high yielding [[Bovine Breeds - WikiNormals#Dairy Breeds|dairy cows]] on high concentrate diets. Left displacements usually occur in the first 6 weeks of [[Lactation - Anatomy & Physiology|lactation]], although this association is less strong for right-sided displacements and cases of abomasal volvulus. Sometimes displacement does occur before calving, this is in late gestation and accounts for 5% of cases.
