Coxal Dysplasia in 25 Calves

Abstract

Coxal dysplasia was seen in 25 calves showing a clinical evidence of inability to stand on their hind limbs. It was classified into 3 types according to morphological changes: acetabular dysplasia, coxal deformation, and dysplasia of the cotyloidcavity. Of these calves, eighteen were affected with Akabane disease. Congenital coxal dysplasia was considered to be one of the factors causing inability to stand in calves.
