Abstract

In this case presentation, multiple congenital anomalies observed in a Simmental calf were described. Most of the anomalies were recorded on the skeletal system. Various morphologic deformations were seen in the long bones of the front and hind limbs. Arthrogryposis was also detected on the joints of limbs. The most noteworthy anomaly outside the skeletal system was the presence of a caecum-like bowel segment beside the normal cecum, which both were open to the same location. In the heart, muscular ventricular septal defect was also noted.
