The development of rumen in fetuses between 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonates of Korean native goats was investigated by light, scanning electron microscopy. The results were summarized as follows; 1. In the 60-day-old fetuses, the stomach was developed and differentiated into four compartments of rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The ruminal epithelial layers were differentiated into two zones; a small dark basal and a large light luminar zones. 2. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the light luminar zone of the rumen was 6-12 times thicker than the dark zone. 3. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the wall of the rumen had increased in thickness, and its the mucosa was still smooth. Several undulations of various depths involving the basal zone, basement membrane and lamina propria were observed at irregular within the light zone. 4. In the neonate, the wall of the rumen had increased in thickness and the luminar surface had become wavy due to the appearance of several shallow furrows in the luminar surface of the epithelium especially between the tips of the relatively more developed undulations. 5. Scanning electron microscopic studies: In the 90-day-old fetuses, numerous microvilli and microridges were observed on the superficial epithelial layer of the rumen. The ruminal papillae were already formed at 120 days of gestation. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the ruminal papillae formed short dome-shape. In the neonate, the ruminal papillae formed pebble-shape or short finger like.

The development of reticulum in fetuses between 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonates of Korean native goats was investigated by light, scanning electron microscopy. The results were summarized as follows; 1. In the 60-day-old fetuses, the stomach was developed and differentiated into four compartments of rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The reticular epithelial layers were differentiated into two zones; a small dark basal and a large light luminar zones. The wall of reticulum resembled that of the rumen except that the mucosa was in the cranio-dorsal region of the reticulum. 2. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the light luminar zone of the reticulum was about 10-16 times thicker than the dark zone. The outlines of the reticular ribs were visible. 3. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the wall of the reticlum had also increased in thickness. The reticular mucosa exhibited an irregular luminar surface and the invaginations had differentiated into large regularly arranged ones separated by 3-5 and small irregularly arranged ones. 4. In the neonate, the luminar surface of the reticular mucosa demonstrated clear furrows, at which the superficial cells of the light zone had undergone degenerative changes. 5. Scanning electron microscopic studies; In the 60-day-old fetuse, numerous microvilli were observed on the superficial epithelial layer of shape or dome like at 120 days. In the neonate, the reticular papillae liked the little finger.

This case occurred following accidental consumptions of toxic levels of feedstuffs in the Korean indigenous cattle which were pregnant for 3-6 months. Grossly, poorly defined bluish coloration in the ventral sac of the rumen, reticulum and omasum was visible on the surface of the stomach. The severely affected ruminal walls were perforated and blood-tinged exudate was observed and death followed due to acute diffuse peritonitis. There were copious amount of porridgelike rumen contents, which has a distinct fermentative odor. The epithelia were easily wiped off and hyperemic in patch. Histopathologically, chemical rumenitis with neutrophilic infiltration and opportunistic fungal infection was evident in the mucosa and submucosa. Multifocal necrotic foci with fungal hyphae on the liver and severe congestion on the renal medulla were noted. There was no evidence of heavy metal and aflatoxin Bl in the suspected feedstuffs. This case was diagnosed as acute carbohydate engorgement in cattle.

On a farm with 6 Korean beef cattle, an adult cow and a calf suddenly died while eating. At that time, hair was pressed upon the stanchion facilities where the adult cow was fed. Two dead cattle were submitted to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency for disease diagnosis. Grossly, the mouth of the adult cow was full of feed that had been eaten before death, and there was a foamy fluid in the calf's trachea. Both hemorrhages were observed in the muscles, as well as in the internal organs such as the liver, lungs, and heart. Ruminal mucosa was easily peeled off. Histopathologically, both muscles and internal organs showed severe hemorrhages. In particular, affected muscles were shown segmental and band-like patterns of myonecrosis, disappeared some myocytes, burned hair follicles, and irregular surface of skin. Severe hemorrhages of muscles and internal organs were consistent with previous reports. Easily separated mucosa of rumen and muscle lesions were very characteristic. We determined electrocution according to the pathological findings, laboratory results, and traces of accidents. This report will help to understand of pathological lesions of electrocution. Furthermore, this case suggests that the electrical wires and devices must be installed and handled carefully during the construction of the cowsheds care.

The development of omasum in fetuses between 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonates of Korean native goats was investigated by fight; scanning electron microscopy. The results were summarized as follows : 1. In the 60-day-old fetuses, the stomach was developed and differentiated into four compartments of rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The mucosa of the omasum was thrown into folds which appeared to be three or four different orders of large, medium, small, and smallest laminae. 2. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the omasal laminae had increased greatly in length and cores of omasal laminae were invaginated laterally. 3. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the wall of the omasal laminae had increased in length and the lamina epithelialisis had slightly increased in thickness. The lateral invaginations at the dark zone had increased in length and depth. The tunica muscularis increased only slightly in thickness particularly within its inner circular layer. 4. In the neonate, the muscularis and the omasal laminae had increased in thickness. The lateral invaginations of the dark zone were observed in the first, second and third order of omasal laminae. 5. Scanning electron microscopic studies : In the 90-day-old fetuses, numerous microvilli and microridges were observed on the luminar surface of the omasal mucosa. The omasal papillae were already formed at 120 days of gestation. In the I20-day-old fetuses omasal papillae liked nipple shape. In the neonate, the omasal papillae liked the thumb.
