Abstract

A successful induction of parturition in primiparous kankrej cow was carried out with combination of PGF2α and corticosteroid, using Valethamate bromide and calcium to deal with ripening of indurated cervix and uterine inertia, respectively. Cow showed dystocia due to indurated cervix and uterine inertia, which was relieved and live female foetus was delivered by correcting fetal position and posture by repulsion, adjustment of extremities and traction.
