Abstract

Dystocia is one of the major causes of reproductive  complications in buffaloes (Juneja et al., 2023). Dystocia  is the term used to describe a delay or difficulty in parturition  (Lombard et al., 2007; Purohit et al., 2012). The incidence of  dystocia in buffaloes ranges from 2.12% to 4.81% (Prasad and  Prasad, 1998; Khan et al., 2009). It may originate either from  the maternal or foetal side (Noakes et al., 2009). Foetal causes  of dystocia are usually evident at the time of parturition  (Kaushish and Mathur 2005). Among the foetal causes,  dystocia due to foetal mal-disposition is most commonly  encountered, with an incidence rate ranging from 9.04-56.7%  (Das et al., 2009; Mudasir et al., 2010; Shisodiya and Mali, 2014).  Foetal mal-dispositions, such as the deviation of the head  and neck of foetus in anterior presentation, are the most  obvious reasons for dystocia
