Abstract

Most genetic defects in cattle are easily diagnosed in neonates; however, some are not detected until later when the animal is examined or clinical problems such as infertility or dystocia occur. Clinical experience with such a defect in Jersey cattle—constriction of the anus and vulvovestibular area, rectovaginal constriction (RVC)—is reported here.
