Abstract

Uterine torsion can occur in all species, but is especially common in cattle, with occurrences reported in 1 to 12.5% of dystocias. However, most of the published work has been done on hospital referred cases and does not represent cases seen in the field by general practitioners. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to describe field cases of uterine torsion as well as examine a few risk factors for the condition.
