The placentomes were not palpable, and fremitus was absent. Per-vaginal examination revealed a completely dilated cervix. Therapeutically Managemental strategies for the treatment of macerated fetus typically includes manual removal of the macerated bony fetal parts along with uterine flushing/douching and prompt treatment with fourth generation antibiotics, uterine oral ecbolics and gluconeogenic precursors helps in achieving uneventful recovery within three days in Marathwadi Buffalo.
