Hypospadias in Buffalo (Bubalus Bubalis) Mediterranean Breed - Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Buffalo Science - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Hypospadias is a rare congenital condition characterized by abnormal development of the penile urethra, penis, scrotum and prepuce. The etiopathogenesis is still not fully elucidated, but it is based on a deficiency of testosterone during the critical stage of morphogenesis. At UNESP’s experimental farm was born a Mediterranean breed buffalo calf with congenital abnormalities in the reproductive system, being diagnosed with hypospadias.
