| Abstract | ||
| Among 1860 examined cattle and buffaloes calves. 84 calves had congenital anomalies representing 4.5%. The incidences among the examined Friesian (800), Balady (260) and buffaloes calves (800) were 3.5%, 3.1% and 6.0% respectively. Among twelve patterns of diagnosed congenital anomalies, heterochromia iridis, umbilical hernia and atresia ani were the predominant ones. Compared with other body regions, anomalies of the head and abdominal wall were the most common ones. Although surgical management was successful in certain congenital anomalies, culling of the affected calves was of economic importance. | ||
