| Description |
English: A fistula, in the veterinary sense, is a hole made in the stomach of an animal for doing research. I once lost a bet involving fistulated cows, but we wont go into that now.
In Norway I ran into some fistulated horses, and ran over to get some shots. And now a bit of history from the UC Davis fistulated cow website "In 1822, a Canadian suffered a wound that refused to heal, but the man otherwise was in fine health. His doctor discovered that the digestive process could be observed directly through the hole. The discovery spread, and for over 150 years, fistulation has been used to observe digestive processes in living animals, with the first recorded scientific use on animals dating to 1833." |
