Popis: Dystocia in cattle results in pain and suffering, and is an important cause of calf mortality and economic loss in the dairy and beef industries. Accurate prediction of dystocia will facilitate earlier intervention in cattle undergoing parturition. The objective of this study was to determine associations between calving difficulty score and intra pelvic dimensions, calf hoof circumference, and calf birth weight in Holstein-Friesian cattle.
