title: Freemartinism in red deer (Cervus elaphus L.).
abstract: Several mixed-sex twins were produced by red deer treated with progesterone and pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin. Of seven females karyotyped, two were 68,XX/68,XY chimeras. One male had the same chimeric karyotype as its female co-twin. These are the first reported cases of freemartinism in deer.
