The paper gives an impression of the care for mother animals in antiquity, particularly in the course of Roman livestock farming (Varro, Columella). Especially noninfectious factors were held responsible for the redemption of the interruption of pregnancy and a complicated parturition. Therefore special attention was paid for the right and optimal livestock, grooming and nutrition of the farm animals. In the case of dystocia, the herdsmen and veterinarians reached for correction of presentation, traction and embryotomy during parturition. However, the placental retention was only treated with drugs. In the case of an uterine prolapse, Apsyrtos recommended for the first time the reposition at the casted animal and the triple closure of the vulva.
该论文展示了古代对母畜的照料情况，尤其是在罗马畜牧业发展过程中（瓦罗、科卢梅拉）。特别是非传染性因素被认为是导致怀孕中断和难产的原因。因此，人们特别关注农场动物的合适饲养、最佳护理和营养。在难产的情况下，牧民和兽医会在分娩时进行胎位矫正、牵引和胚胎切割术。然而，胎盘滞留仅用药物治疗。对于子宫脱垂，阿普西托斯首次建议对已分娩的动物进行复位，并对外阴进行三重缝合。
