Seventy eight Jersey and thirty two Holstein Friesian cross bred cattles were reported with the history of carbohydrate engorgement. Rumen fluid pH was less than 5 in all the animals. Endoscopy was performed by using Olympus flexible video endoscope. Animals were physically restrained without sedation. On endoscopy yellowish to brown coloured fluid could be visualized upon entering through relaxed lower oesophageal sphincter. The rumen fluid was lavaged out and irrigation of rumen was done to facilitate the ruminoscopy. The endoscope tip placed on the dorsal and ventral sac of the rumen revealed greyish to light brown coloured cornified epithelium and necrosis. In some places it was peeled off easily and dark, hemorrhagic surface was found beneath, although no such changes were noticed in the reticulum. Endoscopic guided biopsy revealed massive vacuolar degeneration with varying nuclear changes of squamous epithelium in rumen and reticulum on histopathology.
