In the first case (HYP-AA), an anal orifice was missing.The urethra opened in the perineum. Consequently, the inguinal region wasinfiltrated with urine. A secondary finding was a vesicle at the anal area witha diameter of approximately 10 cm. Histopathological examination of the analarea of the HYP-AA-calf showed a necrotizing dermatitis with multifocal acutebleedings and diffuse oedema. In addition, an interstitial pneumonia andurethritis were identified. In the clinical examination of the second case(HYP), a penile and preputial aplasia, an incomplete ventral covering by skinand a bifid scrotum were found. Histopathological examination of the HYP-calfrevealed a urethritis with epithelial hyperplasia in the urethra and afollicular hyperplasia of the lymph nodes. The HYP-calf had normally developedtesticles. However, there was no active spermatogenesis. The inbreedingcoefficient for the HYP-AA-calf was 0.684% and for the HYP-calf 5.273% and bothaffected calves had one ancestor in common, a Holstein bull used in artificialinsemination. In conclusion the congenital anomalies of the two cases might bedue to mutations transmitted by the common ancestor. CR - 1. Leipold HW., Huston K., Dennis SM., 1983. Bovine congenital defects.
