Abstract
- A retrospective study on dystocia in 211 graded Murrah buffaloes was undertaken over a period of 5 years. Maternal and fetal causes accounted for 57.35 and 42.65 percent respectively. Amongst maternal causes, uterine torsion, incomplete cervical dilatation and uterine inertia acccounted for 76.86, 20.66 and 2.48 percent, respectively. Uterine torsion was considered as the single most important reason for dystocia with an incidence of 76.86%. Fetal dystocia in anterior and posterior presentation were 88.88 and 11.12 percent while those of head and limb maldisposition, fetal emphysema and monsters were 40, 60, 8.88 and 3.34 percent respectively. Highest survival rate of 98.07% was achieved using modified Schaffers method of detorsion among uterine torsion treatment regimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
