Online published on 14 December, 2020. Abstract Afiveyear old Osmanabadi goat waspresented to the Obstetrical Ward, Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Udgir with the history of completion of gestational period. Animal was restless, dull, depressed with intermittent kidding signs. On per vaginal examination birth canal was dry and stenotic withastrong twist towards left side. The condition was diagnosed as left side post cervical uterinetorsion(more than 180°). Detortion was performed by modified Schaffer’s method by using a hard wooden cart board with moderate palm pressure. Following correction, one dead male foetus was removed and the animal had an uneventful recovery. The present case report suggests that modified Schaffer’s method can be successfully performed for management of uterine torsion in a Osmanabadi goat. Top Keywords Dystocia, Uterine torsion, Goat.
