DYSTOCIA DUE TO UNILATERAL SHOULDER FLEXION AND ITS COMPLICATION IN CROSSBRED COW

摘要

A case of dystocia due to unilateral shoulder flexion in a crossbred cow was resolved with fetotomy and mutation.The fetal causes of dystocia are more numerous of which the commonest are postural defects of head and forelimbs in ruminants (Arthur et.al., 1996). The observed incidence of unilateral carpal or shoulder flexion was 11.4% of 3,873 beef cattle calving (Holland et. al., 1993).
