유우 송아지의 선천성 상완골 형성 부전

Abstract

Humeral hemimelia is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by deficiency of the humerus with relatively intact scapular. The holstein calf was healthy expecting the deformity of forelimb humerus. The examination of PCR and serum neutralizing test was carried about BVD, akabane virus, Ibaraki virus and Kasba virus in cattle. The results were all negative. Affected calf showed forelimb deformation. Other abnormalitis was not observed in brain, spinal cord, liver, kidney and other visceral organs. Amelia are very rare limb anomalies. We report on a Holstein calf with forelimb deficiencies. This case appears humeral anomalies with ulnar and radius aplasia in calf. The condition in these calves was considered the result of a recurrence of a genetic mutation affecting a putative hemimelia locus.
