Incidence of uterine torsion during veterinary-assisted dystocia and singleton live births after vaginal delivery in Holstein-Friesian cows at pasture

The singleton live births prevailed and, in general, their occurrence by vaginal delivery after uterus reposition were most likely to occur in cows with uterine torsion than dams presenting other dystocia.
