Five years old pluriparous Murrah buffalo at full term with the history of straining since last 12 hours was presented to Veterinary Clinical Complex. The case was diagnosed as dystocia due to severe left lateral deviation of head and neck with history of complete gestation, straining and rupture of water bags without any further progress in the labor. The dead fetus was in anterior longitudinal presentation and dorso-sacral position. The postural defect of the foetus was corrected successfully using mutational procedures. The animal made an uneventful recovery.
