Abstract

Fetal mummification is a rare gestational accident in domestic animals which is associated with fetal death, non-involution of corpus luteum, absorption of fetal and placental fluid and other associated changes in uterine environment. The present case report describes per vaginal extraction of three mummified fetuses of different stage of gestation in a four year non descriptive doe.
