Declarations
:
: This study did not require official or institutional ethical approval as it was not experimental but part of clinical and pathological veterinary diagnostics. The study was carried out in compliance with the ARRIVE guidelines. The animal was handled according to good ethical standards and Swiss legislation (Animal Welfare regulation: Tierschutzverordnung from 23th April 2008, last amended on 4th September 2018). A formal ethics approval for the euthanasia of the affected calf was not needed as this complies with §179 of the Swiss Animal Welfare regulation. The affected calf was euthanized by intravenous injection of an overdose of sodium pentobarbital (300 mg/mL), performed by AM. The aim was to identify the cause of the congenital disorder. Written consent was obtained from the cattle owner.
