In some cases the operation of rumenotomij, or paunclnng, as it is sometimes termed, must be performed. With this pur- pose in view, the animal is first placed with the right side in contiguity with a wall, just at the end thereof, and the tail must be firmly held round the corner towards the right side. The nose is held firmly with pincers, and firm pressure must be applied to the left shoulder and hip, so as to prevent the animal moving too much to the left.
