Abstract
In this article, a case of an amorphus globosus is presented. A three years old White Galloway dam gave birth in her second pregnancy a normal calf and a malformed amorphic co-twin. The malformed co-twin was slightly flattened with an ovoid covered by white hairy skin form of 21.0x10.0x6.0 cm in size and a weight of 1600 g. The present case had an umbilical cord like structure of 20 cm in length and 2-3 cm in diameter. A small opening, resembling am oral structure, contain a tongue-like structure with lips and three milk teeth. Histological examination showed a solid mass of connective tissue, skeletal muscles, lymph, arterial vessel and glandular units and focal by cartilage tissue. The radiography clearly showed lower-upper jaw, small bone similar to a tail-like-structure and a cartilage tissue. The inbreeding coefficient of the case was 6.25% due to a common ancestor on the maternal and paternal side. This is the first report on amorphus globosus in White Galloway cattle including pathological, histopathological, radiological findings and pedigree analysis.
