The [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] is the part of alimentary tract that tends to go wrong least often.
 +
Failure of [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophageal]] function results in obstruction and in failure of ingesta to pass to the [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]]. In the bovine there may also be failure of [[Eructation - Anatomy & Physiology|eructation]] and tympany may develop.

==Introduction==

The [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] has '''no serosa''' and is covered by the fibrous tissue of the neck and mediastinum, from which it derives its blood supply. Consequently, infection spreads easily and healing is more difficult. [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|Oesophageal]] disease is therefore difficult to treat and is very serious.</div>
