A CASE REPORT OF ARTHROGRYPOSIS IN CAPRINE.
Abstract
Arthrogryposis is an uncommon congenital disease in caprines, and there is only one previous report of this condition in Brazilian goats. This paper describes the case of a male caprine, with flexural, angular and rotational congenital deformities in the forelimb joints, with probable genetic cause, associated with slight bachygnathia of the upper jaw.
