The present study was conducted to analyze the consequences of cesarean section (csection) in terms of survivability and future fertility in bovine. The data from 304 veterinarians working at Civil Veterinary Hospitals, Punjab who performed 128 c-sections (Cattle: 70, buffalo: 58) was collected through a specially designed questionnaire and analyzed. A high overall survival rate was observed where indication of c-section was pelvic fracture/abnormal pelvis ( %) followed by incomplete cervical dilatation ( %) and fetal monsters ( %). The overall survival rate in cesarean operated animals was per cent. About 18 per cent cesarean operated animals with 12 h. In conclusion, survival and future fertility rates in cesarean operated buffaloes can be improved if time elapsed since occurrence of dystocia is less and a decision to operate the animal is taken earlier. | A retrospective study on consequences of cesarean section in bovine
