Radial agenesis and ulnar hypoplasia in two caprine kids.
Two of three caprine triplets caused dystocia due to malformed forelimbs. This malformity was caused by radial agenesis and ulnar hypoplasia. Other congenital anomalies were also present. The influence of diet versus genetics could not be ascertained. Bilateral ulnar fractures in one kid revealed histologically rounded fracture ends with prominent periosteal new bone formation.
