Abstract: A 2.5 years old Marwari goat was presented with a history of full term pregnant, frequent straining since last 15 hours, and unable to deliver the fetus. Clinico-obstetrical examination revealed a right side twist of cranial vaginal folds and on slight forced insertion twisting is continuously and cervix was not palpated, indicating a post cervical right-sided uterine torsion. The torsion was also confirmed with visualization of twist in the vagina through the vaginal speculum. For correction of uterine torsion was done using modified Schaffer’s (Plank on Flank) method. The goat was cast on the right side lateral recumbency and slowly rolled in the same direction of torsion, After every rotation, goat was examined. Total three successful rotations was corrected the torsion and cervix palpated. Cervical dilation was incomplete and water bag palpated. After use of oxytocin hormone fetus was delivered within one hour’s with slight assistance. Subsequently, a dead male kid was delivered per-vaginally and post-operative management was done for three days.
