Omdurman Province is one of Khartoum State Provinces. The percentage of the foreign body in goats’ rumen was high in the year 1999 (47.8%) and then declined to 33.3 and 39.1% during years 2000 and 2002 respectively. and Foreign body surgical operations (rumenotomy) percentage reached up to 44.4% compared to other surgical operations performed in goats in Omdurman Province.
