Abstract

Dystocia due to post-cervical clockwise torsion of uterus in a non-descript doe with its clinical management
by modified Schaffer’s method using a hollow iron pipe was recorded. The method was found effective and
inexpensive to manage per-vaginal delivery of a dead male kid without any obstetrical complications.
