Our Bovine Dystocia poster provides a comprehensive and specialised look at veterinary obstetrics – the branch of medicine concerned with the management of childbirth. Designed exclusively for AnatomyStuff by our team of expert medical and veterinary illustrators, this bovine calving chart ensures high anatomical accuracy, making it an essential resource for veterinary students, livestock managers, and agricultural science professionals.
This bovine dystocia chart includes detailed, instructional illustrations of the following presentations:
- Normal & Twin Presentations: Illustrating the ideal ‘diving’ posture for a smooth delivery and the physical obstruction caused by simultaneous twin presentation.
- Malpositions & Rotations: A clear look at the ventral (upside down) position and the manual rotation required to align the calf with the pelvic opening.
- Head & Shoulder Deviations: Detailed views of lateral head deviation and shoulder flexion, highlighting the deep internal manipulation needed to correct these obstructions.
- Breech & Posterior Presentations: Specialist diagrams showing the risks of tail-first births and the technique of repulsion needed to safely extend the hind limbs.
- Carpal Flexion: A focused illustration of the ‘bent knee’ obstruction and the correct method of cupping the hoof to protect the uterine wall during correction.
