title: Chromosomes of cattle: present clinical status and promise.
abstract: Current information on cytogenetics in veterinary medicine is presented as a resume for the veterinarian in cattle practice; previous reviews of the subject are recorded. The literature depicting the recognised chromosome abnormalities in cattle is breifly reviewed. It is suggested that chromosome screening already has a role to play in the economics of cattle production.
