Abstract
An outbreak of gross congenital malformations in cattle, sheep and goats appeared in Israel during the October 1969 — September 1970 season. These malformations were diagnosed as arthrogryposis and hydranencephaly. An estimated 4000 calves, representing about 4 percent of the total annual calving in Jewish-owned dairy herds in the country, were born with one or more of these malformations.
