Intestinal malformations in calves and their surgical correction.
A clinical study was made on 45 cases of intestinal malformations found in calves during a four year period. Fifteen calves were euthanised for different reasons. Surgical correction was made in 30 calves; 15 of them recovered. The recovery depended on the extent and the localisation of the defect and on the general condition of the animal.
