Some observations before, during and after parturition were reported in 20 swamp buffalo cows (Bubalus bubalis) all together. Preparturient changes concerning labia, pelvis and udder were described. The rectal temperature in one cow was recorded every morning and evening for 11 days before parturition. During parturition the appearance and the rupture of the fetal membranes were observed. The expulsion of the calf took 28 min. in average. The placenta was expelled 3 hours and 24 min. after the expulsion of the fetus.
