Generally, aspiration of fluids, ruminal contents or foreign material into the upper respiratory tract, bronchi and lungs lead to aspiration pneumonia in bovines. An adult female Murrah buffalo was presented for postmortem examination. Complete blood count examination of live animal revealed leuckocytosis with shift to left. On the basis of gross and microscopical lesions, this case was concluded as aspiration pneumonia as a result of aspiration of regurgitated ruminal contents along with mature amphistome into the respiratory tract and subsequent edema, pneumonia, asphyxia and death.
