Real time B-mode trans abdominal ultrasonography was employed to evaluate the dystocic ewes and does (n=72) in order to indicate viability of fetus and to predict the prognostic value. Both 3.5 and 5 MHz transducers are useful for sonating the gravid uterus in these species. The accuracy of diagnosis was 100 percent with dead fetuses (48 out of 48) while it was 91.78% in live fetuses (19 out of 24). Disorders like stunted growth of fetus, fetal monsters, post maturity changes of placenta etc were also observed accurately. Twin pregnancies could not be detected accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Crossbred Jersey cow in its first parity was presented with history of complete gestation and straining for last 24 hours without any further progress. Gynecological examination revealed 180° pre-cervical right uterine torsion. The animal was casted on same side of torsion and rolled using four strong round wooden logs joined together. After third roll, torsion could be completely corrected and a dead male fetus was removed by gentle traction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
