Abstract

Six pluriparous buffaloes were presented with protracted dystocia due to uterine torsion and were subjected to left paramedian laparo-hysterotomy under sedation and local anaesthesia. Etiology of uterine torsion was found to be prolonged wallowing and aim less running in two cases and obscure in others. Calves retrieved were dead and emphysematous. In spite of good post operative efforts, two dams died owing to improper, un-timely treatment, toxaemia and stress related with rolling and caesarean.
