Abstract
A 7-years old Japanese Black (JB) cow showed persistent vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, and also 3-month pregnancy. Laboratory tests revealed anemia, hypoalbumenia, hypoproteinemia, elevated serum liver enzyme, and ketonuria. Due to poor condition, she was euthanised and necropsy was performed. Grossly, the stomach was surround and adhered by thick hard fat masses which were suggestive of necrotic fat masses. The fat masses were mainly found around abomasum and also found around reticulum, omasum and omentum. Histopathological examination revealed the fat tissue consisted of calcifi ed and necrotic adipocyte with fi brosis and leukocyte infi ltration. According to these findings the lesions were diagnosed as bovine fat necrosis (BFN) and rarely found around the stomach with persistent vomiting symptom.
