Animal production in Egypt is affected by a
number of factors, including dealing with difficult situations in
pregnancy, parturition and postpartum problems in farm animals (cattle
and buffaloes). Dystocia is one of the most important obstetrical
conditions, and requires immediate attention by the veterinarians, for
calving difficulty causes severe economic losses to the farmers. Uterine
torsions were the single most important cause of maternal dystocia.
Torsion of uterus usually occurs in a pregnant uterine horn and is
defined as the twisting of the uterus on its longitudinal axis [1].
The most important of these factors is how to deal
with cases of uterine torsion in buffalo pregnant in terms of dealing
with the owner of the animal to the treatment of the veterinarian with
the situation to solve the problem of uterine torsion. Firstly,
regarding the behavior of the owner with the case, did not notice the
changes that appear on the animal suffering with uterine torsion during
the end of the second trimester of pregnancy, which leads to increase
the negative aspects of animal health as well as the most important
death of the fetus. We note the negative behavior of the owner, not to
go to the clinic of the veterinarian, except when the animal is
experiencing health problems, including colic and stopping of the eating
and stop the movements of the rumen.
As a result of the research process in the field of
reproduction, a monitoring of the statistics of the animals was
conducted on the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at the Faculty of
Veterinary Medicine Assiut University during the period from 2008 to
2017 revealed that the percentage of cases of uterine torsion in
pregnant buffaloes reached 59.206% from the all percentage of maternal
causes of dystocia in buffaloes. This is nearly similar to the incidence
(55.74%) which reported by Kamlesh et al. [2].
Apart from discussing the causes that lead to the
occurrence of the phenomenon of uterine erosion in the Egyptian
buffaloes, we discuss in this article how to best deal with this problem
in the animal and reduce the harmful aspects after the process of
handling of this uterine torsion in buffaloes. Generally, the uterine torsion in buffalo by rolling
technique of the animal on the ground. This method is the most widely
used in the veterinary field (Figure 1). The rolling technique of the
animal has been described by numbers of the researchers for detorsion of
uterus in cows and buffaloes. In most cases, the rolling technique of
the animal fails to solve the problem of uterine torsion in the
buffaloes due to development of adhesions between the uterus and the
adjoining abdominal organs. Moreover, cervical dilation failure is
commonly observed in buffaloes after correction of uterine torsion [3].
Despite injecting the medicine that helps open the cervix, the
cervix is not opened due to inflammatory and necrotic changes
in the cervix after torsion lead to failure of the cervix to dilate [4].
In addition to the high stress on the animal from the process of
rolling technique must be performed. From this point of view we
decide to perform caesarean section as an ideal solution to the
problem of uterine torsion. Cesarean section is indicated if the
cervix is found hard and lobulated after correction of torsion in
buffaloes with dead fetus. Finally, we recommend not to use the traditional method in
solving the problem of uterine torsion in buffalo, but the use of
caesarean section to maintain the process of reproduction in the
animal.
