What is Cattle Gallstones?

Cattle gallstones, also known as biliary calculi, are solid formations that develop in the gallbladder of cattle, primarily composed of cholesterol, bilirubin, and calcium salts. Their presence can lead to digestive issues, inflammation, or infection in the animal, potentially affecting its overall health and productivity. While often asymptomatic, severe cases can result in pain, reduced appetite, and weight loss. Management typically involves dietary adjustments and, in some cases, surgical intervention.
