Four suckling Japanese black calves developed oesophageal obstruction caused by ingestion of rice chaff used as bedding material. Farmers initially observed milk regurgitation from the nostrils in all four cases, whereas excessive salivation occurred in only one calf. Local veterinarians unsuccessfully attempted to remove the oesophageal obstruction using a gastric tube. Also, the four calves were given liquid nutrition or milk using gastric tube as primary care performed by the referring veterinarians. Due to the significant deterioration of general condition, mucosal hyperaemia, inability to or difficulty standing and marked dehydration, the calves were admitted to the University Hospital. Oesophageal obstruction consisting of rice chaff was confirmed in all cases by endoscopy. Chaff was removed from the oesophagus using an endoscope, and all cases quickly recovered. These cases highlight the danger of using rice chaff as bedding for suckling calves.
