Dystocia or difficult birth in cattle demands urgent action due to life-threatening risks. Schistosomus reflexus (SR), a severe fetal anomaly, results in dystocia and contributes to economic losses. A case study involving a crossbred Jersey cow highlights prompt intervention to extract a non-viable calf with SR, emphasizing the need for careful breeding practices and further research to manage its impact on cattle production.
