DL, do you think that you can correlate swine induced birth to beef? In my experience, I don't think that you can. RTed placentas in swine would not be near as common as in beef, the codaleadens are not attached as tightly as in the cows. I don't have any data in front of me, but in my experience with inducing what few cows that I have over the years, & cows that seem to calf short of full term,or be induced, seem to have more RTed placentas. I think that a person could help themselves a bunch by waiting 72 hours then cleaning the cow out as best possible, then treat the uterus with an antibiotic.
