Buffaloes (n=152) suffered with dystocia and referred to Veterinary Clinical Complexwere included in the study to investigate various clinical findings of dystocia. Incidence of maternal dystocia (90.13%) was dominant over occurrence of fetal dystocia (9.87%) in buffaloes. Among maternal dystocia, uterine torsion was significantly (P=0.001) dominant cause with 83.94% cases followed by incomplete cervical dilation (16.06%). Frequencies of right side, post-cervical and >3600 uterine torsions were significantly(P=0.001) higher as compared to left side, pre-cervical and <3600 uterine torsions, respectively. Fetal mal-disposition contributed the main cause among fetal dystocia.
