Abstract

Six cases of freemartins presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Service Complex, Sardarkrushinagar were examined and diagnosed. The freemartins are a sterile female born as co-twin to a male calf and rarest cases of this condition are encountered in veterinary practice and hence these six cases are placed on records.
