Early foetal or late embryonic death is one of the inevitable reasons of pregnancy loss in domestic species.
Ultrasonography is a potential aid to identify this condition at the earliest possible, which otherwise go unnoticed and
ending up increase in inter-calving interval. The present case report illustrates ultrasonographic visualization of late
embryonic and early fetal death characterized by empty amniotic vesicle, change in echogenicity of fetal fluid, foetal
membrane detachment in three Vrindavani cross bred cows at 45-75 days gestation.
