Abstract:
Detailed obstetrical examination was performed in referral dystocia cases of Graded Murrah buffaloes and the incidence of uterine torsion (n=88) was recorded and analyzed. Uterine torsion occurred more frequently in pluriparous buffaloes at full term. Post cervical right sided uterine torsion was common with higher incidence for severe degree (>270->360°) of uterine torsion in buffaloes. The condition was observed since >24-36 hours in 53.40 per cent of the buffaloes before they were presented for treatment. The most fetuses delivered were in anterior longitudinal presentation and male fetus outnumbered the female fetuses.
