[QUOTE="T-Wacker, post: 1561673, member: 22704"] Another email from the first professor I contacted. Had a pretty interesting presentation attached. Thanks for the email. The causes of the dwarf calf can be complicated, change of maternal diet and health condition of the cow during gestation, genetic mutation or defect of the dwarf itself, or from the sire or the cow. If it is a genetic defect, at least one of the mutation is detectable. See the link: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1iy4rDrrhV_daSEiP2pLxlcY1jpTIQU5W_HFVgJr3k-Ru1q3UBFXLlal6nmGL49xOsUUsqYH7uW4h9FXquY8sr88N56c9Os8E4bjxzx0PEm644cH32Vu_owyCzw4Ij-T7pJ7xTj85UYz7NA2cLwTII7fgyXoISb9HaNa_Opu1CEG5pJnhtQ7UyQWkLRW3Xa8S0XaXQrshDecL_h3lY3sh8CKS3aLqxRj4YjjvihYtL5CXc3rqUttw37Eu9Z8m2X7hqQLguDSHLVS88tKFQnICqntsSyne3UZZPU8rF8o5_lA/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.asi.k-state.edu%2Fresearch-and-extension%2Fbeef%2Fagent-resources%2Fdocs%2Fgendefects.pdf Please pay attention to the last slide of 2nd page: • Not all dwarfs are “genetic dwarfs” • Dwarf calves can occur when pregnant cows are infected by viruses at key points in embryonic/fetal development • Veterinary diagnostic labs can classify dwarf calves as genetic/environmental by necropsy [/QUOTE]
