Abstract

The mechanics of relieving dystocia are well described in the veterinary texts (1,2,3,4). In our opinion, the procedure decisions are not clearly presented. I hope to stimulate some response from you experienced practitioners to give your guidelines for decisions in bovine dystocia. I would like to stress I do not believe our way is the only way to make these decisions. I would like to emphasize if a practitioner is not capable in the management of dystocia, he is not likely to be a successful bovine practitioner because dystocia is about 20-25% of the caseload of bovine practice.
