The [[The Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|abomasum]] is the fourth stomach of the cow and 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 which may result in abomasal [[Volvulus, Intestinal|volvulus]] and [[Torsion, Intestinal|torsion]].

Rearrangement of abdominal viscera in pregnancy is thought to be an important aetiological factor, however reduced abomasal motility is thought to be the primary aetiological cause. Once the abomasum is displaced gas production by the organ continues causing distension and further displacement.
