The pluriparous buffalo in third parity was presented with the history of a completed gestation period, initiated parturition process with the rupture of water bag around 12 h ago. Per-vaginal examination with well lubricated gloved hand revealed dystocia due to fetal maldisposition with dorso-pubic position and deviation of head. The animal was laid in the recumbent position, and with the application of obstetrical mutations and three-point traction, a live male fetus was delivered. The case depicts the birth of live fetus after prolonged period of water bag rupture
