QUESTION

Posterior presentation is more common in?

OPTIONS

(A) Sow
(B) Cow
(C) Doe
(D) Mare

ANSWER

(A) Sow

EXPLANATION

Posterior longitudinal presentation is relatively common and can be normal during farrowing because piglets may be delivered either headfirst or hindquarters first. In cows, does, and particularly mares, anterior longitudinal presentation is more typical, and posterior delivery requires closer attention to posture and progress. The sow therefore provides the best species association for frequent posterior presentation.
