    In the present study analysis of dystocia in Graded Murrah buffaloes presented to Obstetrical ward during a two year period revealed a high prevalence of maternal dystocia (80.80%) over fetal dystocia (19.19%) was observed. The prevalence of uterine torsion was highest (95.62%) among the maternal dystocia and was 77.27 % among all the dystocia cases presented. Detailed obstetrical examinations were carried out in 148 buffaloes which exhibited signs of uterine torsion and were treated by using Modified Schaffer’s method. A total of 79 (53.38 per cent) buffaloes were detorted with 1-2 rotations, 53 buffaloes (35.81 per cent) with more than 2 rotations and 16 buffaloes (10.81 per cent) failed to respond for detorsion and were subjected to caesarean section. Buffaloes which responded for detorsion had a dilated cervix (46.97%), incompletely dilated cervix (43.94%) and closed and intact cervix (9.09%). The buffaloes which were successful for detorsion (n=35) were randomly divided into two groups, in which 15 buffaloes had completely dilated cervix and 20 buffaloes which had incompletely dilated cervix. Hemato-biochemical parameters of these buffaloes were compared with normally calved buffaloes (n=10). Hemogram revealed a significant (P<0.05) reduction in hemoglobin, packed cell volume, eosinophil, and lymphocyte counts in uterine torsion affected buffaloes with completely dilated and incompletely dilated cervix post detorison when compared to normally calved buffaloes. The total leucocyte, neutrophil and monocyte counts were significantly higher in buffaloes having completely dilated cervix, incompletely dilated cervix post detorsion as compared to normally calved buffaloes. Biochemical analysis revealed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and MDA concentrations in buffaloes having completely dilated and incompletely dilated cervix post detorsion when compared to normally calved buffaloes. There was a significant (P<0.05) increase in glucose, β hydroxy butyric acid, creatinine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and certain oxidative stress parameters like maloinaldehyde, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase concentrations in the uterine torsion affected buffaloes with completely dilated and incompletely dilated cervix post detorsion compared to eutocia buffaloes. Buffaloes with incompletely dilated cervix (n=58) post detorsion were randomly, subjected to two treatment protocols and cervical changes and efficacy of the treatment were recorded. Buffaloes of each group were further grouped based on the texture of the external os of cervix into grade 1 (smooth and soft cervix), grade 2 (partially lobulated and moderately soft cervix) and grade 3 (lobulated and hard cervix). The buffaloes in Group I are treated with Dextrose salines, Calcium Borogluconate, Oxytocin, Valethamate Bromide along with periodic massage with warm CMC gel and overall mean interval between treatment and complete dilatation of cervix was 229.60±10.69 minutes with a success rate of 86.21%. Group II buffaloes (n=29) were treated with Dextrose salines, Calcium Borogluconate, Oxytocin, Valethamate Bromide and massage with CMC gel in combination with Misoprostol tablet (PGE1) @ 1000 μg powdered and applied to the cervical lumen and subsequent hourly massages were done with CMC alone. The overall mean interval between treatment and complete dilatation of cervix was 203.13±5.41 minutes with a success rate of 100.00%. It was concluded from the present study that the therapeutic efficacy of Group II protocol was better as it required lesser number of massages, less mean interval (min) between treatment and complete dilatation of cervix with 100.00 per cent success rate. Further, it was evident that Misoprostol caused cervical softening and dilatation of the cervix without any side effects.
