Multiple congenital defects in a female calf: a case report.
This case report describes a female calf with arthogryposis, an extra set of incision teeth, ventral abdominal hernia, tibial hemimelia and the nonunion of mullerian ducts. This is possibly the first occurrence of these anomalies in one animal. The cause of these anomalies may have been genetic in origin due to the close relationship between the dam and the sire and the negative history for such various tetragenic factors.
