Notomelia in a piglet (Sus scrofa): Case report and review of the literature

Abstract

This report describes a case of notomelia in a female piglet. The extra limb was attached at the interscapular region and was significantly undergrown. Its appendage was bifurcated with a unilateral keratinized tip. This is probably the first report of notomelia in a pig. The observations were compared with the bovine and ovine cases of notomelia reported so far. © 2019 Blackwell Verlag GmbH
