“…The present study successfully reported detailed descriptive data about the common maternal causes of dystocia and the associated oxidants and antioxidants biomarkers and bLac in parturient buffaloes. Several studies previously reported that dystocia causes significant changes in the hormonal, biochemical and oxidant/antioxidant profiles in different animal species (Amin et al, 2020;Ghoneim et al, 2016;Thangamani et al, 2019) In the current study, three of maternal dystocia were reported; UT as the most common one, then FCD as the second major cause of maternal dystocia and finally UI. The high incidence of UT as a major cause of maternal dystocia reported in the present study (77.27%) was similar to that previously reported by Purohit and Gaur (2014).…”

Dystocia is a critical obstetrical problem in farm animals and is classified into maternal or fetal dystocia. The maternal causes of dystocia include different causes such as uterine torsion (UT), failure of cervical dilation (FCD), and uterine inertia (UI). Maternal dystocia induces massive oxidative stress due to increased production of free radicals with high levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). Little information is available on oxidants and antioxidant biomarkers and blood lactate (bLac) in parturient buffaloes with maternal dystocia. The current research aimed to clarify different causes of maternal dystocia in buffaloes and the association between the oxidative stress of parturient buffaloes and different types of maternal dystocia. Thirty-five parturient buffaloes were included in this study. Parturient buffaloes included normal parturition (NP; n=7), UT (n=23), FCD (n=4), and UI (n=1). Ten-ml blood samples were collected via jugular vein puncture into two tubes; plain vacutainer tubes for separation of serum to measure bLac and heparin coated vacutainer tube for separation of plasma for determination of MDA, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The results revealed that the major cause of maternal dystocia in the included buffaloes was UT. The UT was commonly post-cervical, clockwise, and > 180°. UT negatively affected both dam survival and calf viability. In addition, evaluation of oxidants and antioxidants biomarkers indicated that maternal dystocia causes more oxidative stress added to physiological stress of calving. This study found that, 4-days post-treatment period was not sufficient to resume antioxidant defense mechanism in UT buffaloes as no significant changes had been detected throughout the sampling period after treatment of UT. Moreover, evaluation of both GPx and bLac indicated their possible detection as indicators for prognosis of UT cases, where the concentration of GPx was significantly lower and the concentration of bLac was significantly higher in dead/culled buffaloes with UT.

“…Dystocia is considered one of the most perilous occurrences animals of various species can face during parturition. Recent studies have underscored the significance of investigating instances related to pregnancy disorders and dystocia in diverse animal populations (Amin et al., 2020; Nagel et al., 2020). Equine dystocia, though perceived as infrequent in veterinary obstetrics (Frazer, 1997; Leidl et al., 1993), presents a critical condition during parturition, posing a life‐threatening risk for both the mare and the foal (Lu et al., 2006; Vandeplassche, 1993).…”

Dystocia typically presents a life‐threatening condition for both the mare and the foal. This prospective long‐term study aimed to ascertain whether mares with prior pregnancy disorders or a history of dystocia were at a higher risk of experiencing subsequent dystocia in comparison to those without such medical antecedents. To achieve this goal, the authors analysed 207 parturitions and 164 mares over a 10‐year period. Of these, 57 were associated with pregnancy disorders or prior dystocia (Group 1), while 150 parturitions followed uneventful pregnancies in mares that had not yet experienced dystocia (Group 2). Mares in Group 1 were significantly more likely to develop dystocia than those in Group 2 (p = .0180; odds ratio = 2.98). Foetal causes of dystocia were more prevalent than maternal causes (p < .0389). Maternal mortality stood at 0.5%, and neonatal mortality reached 1.9%. The results demonstrate that mares are at significantly higher risk of developing dystocia after experiencing pregnancy disorders or parturition complications during previous pregnancies, emphasizing the need for systematic birth monitoring.

“…Generally, the peak in glucose is at birth, or soon thereafter [ 23 , 35 ]. Interestingly, many studies have reported an increase in glucose in dams that have experienced dystocia [ 15 , 25 , 34 , 36 ]; however, many, if not all, had surgical or manual intervention after a certain threshold, whereas the ewes in this study were able to successfully lamb unassisted within the time boundaries set for the study.…”

“…Prolonged or dystocic births are extended periods of myometrial activity and therefore creatinine concentrations would be elevated further. Across several studies and species, such as the camel [ 15 , 21 ], buffalo [ 36 ] and dog [ 25 ], creatinine appears trend higher in dystocic dams; however, their results were not statistically significant. Again, in this study, dystocic ewes were ultimately able to successfully lamb unassisted, whereas in other studies intervention may have precluded elevation of creatinine.…”

Dystocia is the greatest contributor to neonatal lamb mortality in Australia and poses significant welfare and economic concerns worldwide. In this study, we set out to investigate whether pen-side analysis technology could be employed to detect blood parameters predictive of dystocic labour events in sheep. In a pilot trial, we collected and analysed blood samples in pen-side assays for glucose, lactate, pH, pCO2, pO2, base excess, HCO3, TCO2, sO2, lactate, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, urea nitrogen, creatinine, haematocrit, haemoglobin and anion gap. From the pilot data, we identified creatinine, TCO2, chloride and calcium as potentially useful markers. To develop a time course and to establish variability of the selected blood parameters, a time series of samples was collected from 12 ewes, from mid-gestation to 48 h after birth. For the main trial, blood samples were collected at mid- and late gestation for glucose determination and for the full set of blood parameters at three time points before, at and after birth. Possible predictors of lambing difficulty were chloride, haematocrit and haemoglobin, sampled one week before birth; creatinine, sampled at birth; and blood pH and base excess after birth. In conclusion, we found that pen-side analysis of blood markers showed promise in identifying dystocic lambing events.
