A CASE OF UTERINE TORSION IN SHEEP

摘要

A rare case of dystocia due to uterine torsion has been reported in a sheep.Uterine torsion is rare in sheep and results in partial or complete obstruction of the caudal part of uterine body, preventing passage of the lamb. If the degree of torsion is less than 180° it may be possible to pass the hand and palpate the lamb. Complete obstruction may occur if the degree of torsion is greater than 180°. The present paper records a case of complete uterine torsion in a sheep.
