Abstract
This article describes the investigation of 6 cases of syndactyly in Simmental calves on the same farm in the UK [date not given]. All affected calves were healthy for the first 10 weeks of life but subsequently deteriorated and were euthanized. Genetic analyses of the 2 bulls used in the farm showed that both were likely heterozygous carriers of the syndactyly gene, indicating the genetic origin of the disease.
