Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 20 clinical cases of uterine torsion and 20 normal advanced pregnant buffaloes (control group). The lower ventral area just lateral to linea alba (on both sides of the udder) in standing animals was scanned transabdominally by the two-dimensional convex transducer for various ultrasonographic findings. The data collected were statistically analyzed by "one-way ANOVA" and "independent sample t-test" using computerized SPSS 16.0 software program. Results: Transabdominal ultrasonography revealed dead fetus in 95% uterine torsion cases and proved useful in imaging internal structures of fetuses while no dead fetus was reported in the control group. Size of umbilicus was found significantly decreased (p<0.05) in uterine torsion group in comparison to control animals, but the decrease in placentomal area was marginal (p>0.05) in uterine torsion group. Average thickness of the uterine wall and mean pixel values of fetal fluids (echogenicity) were found significantly increased (p<0.05) in uterine torsion affected buffaloes in comparison to control group. Conclusion: Status of fetus (whether live or dead), internal status of uterus, and its contents could be determined by transabdominal ultrasonography in uterine torsion cases and thus determining the prognosis of the uterine torsion cases before going for further manipulations. This will also help in taking all the precautions to avoid death of the fetus.

Incidence of dystocia in goat has been reported to be about 7% (Abdul-Rahman et al., 2000) and the fetal causes of dystocia are 44.44% (Anusha et al., 2016). Dystocia due to oversized fetuses and fetal emphysema are usually subjected to caesarean section (Anusha et al., 2016). In this communication, a rare case of dystocia due to three emphysematous fetuses and their successful delivery in a doe is reported.

Episiotomy followed by excision of transverse band of persistent hymen lead to per vaginal delivery of fetus.

The fetal heart beat was also recorded on 5.5 month (136.83 ± 1.70) of gestation which decreased significantly (92.5 ± 3.43) as gestation period advanced. The pixel values of fetal fluid (40.44 ±1.19 to 36.72 ±2.33) varied non-significantly during the entire period of examination. The decrease in resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) throughout the gestation was recorded which may be due to progressive maturation of the placenta and increase in the number of tertiary stem villi. With the advancement of pregnancy there was significant reduction in RI (1.39 ±0.18 to 0.66 ± 0.97) and PI (3.72 ± 0.65 to 1.17 ± 0.15) values of umbilicus from 6.5 to 10 th month of gestation indicating the sufficient blood flow to fetus and thus maintenance of normal pregnancy. It is concluded that pregnancy and fetal status could be assessed after five and half months of gestation period transabdominally.

During each examination, number of small (<4mm), medium (4-8mm) and large follicles (>8mm) were assessed along with diameter of medium and large follicles. Moreover, diameter of corpus luteum was also studied daily in cyclic animals. The number of small follicles was significantly (P<0.05) higher on 6 th day (2.75±0.25) of cycle as compared to number of small follicles on days 4, 9, 14, 16 and 18-21 of study in cyclic animals. The number of small follicles in non-cyclic buffaloes did not differ significantly (P<0.05) on day 3 (2.00±0.00), 10 (2.00±0.00) and 20 (2.00±0.58) of observations but these were significantly higher than other days of study. Significantly higher number of medium size follicles was recorded on 6 th day (4.50±1.50) as compared to day 18 and 20 of study in cyclic animals. But there was no variation in non-cyclic animals throughout the study. The number of large follicles on day 3 (1.80±0.20) versus days 15, 16 and 18-20 of study varies significantly (P<0.05) while on other days there was non-significant variation. The number of large follicles in cyclic animals varied nonsignificantly throughout the study. The diameter of medium sized follicles in cyclic animals on day 5 (6.77±0.42) was significantly higher than other days of cycle except days 19 and 20 of the cycle. However, the diameter of medium follicles on 1 st day (7.18±.45mm) of the study was significantly higher than follicles of days 7, 11-13, 17-19 and 21 of study in non-cyclic animals. The diameter of largest follicles recorded between 11.45±2.35mm and 14.12±1.40mm in cyclic and non-cyclic animals, respectively. The large size follicle diameter on 21 st day of study was significantly (P<0.05) higher than the diameter of 6 th day while on other days there was non-significant variation in non-cyclic animals. In cyclic buffaloes, CL appeared on 5 th day of cycle and attained maximum size on 14 th day (16.43±.40mm) and then declined. From the present study, it was concluded that the selected non-cyclic animals were not in true anestrus condition as there was follicles development on ovaries that reaches to preovulatory size but not ovulated that may be due to irregular gonadotrophin synthesis or hormonal imbalance and managemental errors.

Post thaw semen samples were evaluated and the average percentage of individual motility, progressive motility, viability, sperm membrane integrity and total sperm abnormalities was similar (p>0.05) in three protocols.

The animal had a history of eleven-month gestation without any sign of parturition. Initially, the animal was suspected for mummification since there was no genital discharge and completely closed cervix. Upon transrectal ultrasonography the case was confirmed with fetal maceration. Lateral oblique laparo-hysterotomy was decided to perform for delivery of macerated and reabsorbed fetus. Animal recovered uneventfully after proper post-operative care and management.

Per-vaginal examination of the dam revealed both hind limbs of the fetus extended in the birth canal, fetal ascites and large mass in the abdomen. Ascitic fluid and lipomatous mass were removed manually after puncturing the fetal abdomen and the deformed fetus was delivered per vaginally by gentle traction.
