Abstract

Ringwomb or incomplete cervical dilatation accounted for an incidence of 23.5% ( 32 136 ) of all the cases of dystocia in does referred to the obstetrics section during the period from April 1983 to July 1987. The ringwomb was observed more in young animals at first parturition (62.6%) having twins or triple pregnancy. Twenty-five percent ( 8 32 ) of cases were associated with vaginal prolapse. The mortality rate observed was 6.3% in does and 23.8% in kids. Intramuscular injection of prostaglandin F 2α has given the best result (80%) followed by treatment with oestradiol benzoate plus calcium borogluconate and oestradiol benzoate alone. Manual dilatation of the cervix showed very poor response.
