We had a cow about a yr or so ago that had a still born birth, with the uterus hanging out/exposed. We use to always lube with vege oil and stuff it back in. Not an easy chore. A local vet had told me about using sugar to help pushing uterus back in. Sugar helps shrink the uterus. On this last cow, we used sugar and it definetly makes it easier. Not much cleaner, but it was easier. We sowed her up.
She now has a calf .
We got her in the shute, washed with antisepic, coated with vegi oil then sugar. put the glove on with antiseptic pills in hand and started the insertion. After insertion and the back wash, sowed her up to hold the uterus in. Stitches dissolve overtime. Anyways it worked good, not sure if anyone knew about that trick or not
