Two calves were found to have omphaloceles at the time of observed unassisted parturition. Both calves were admitted to the veterinary hospital within hours of birth. One calf, with the amnion covering of the herniated intestine and liver intact, was successfully treated by herniorrhaphy. The second calf had ruptured the amnion covering the hernia by the time of admission. This calf was euthanatized during laparotomy because of severe gross contamination of the abdominal cavity. An omphalocele is a congenital defect in the body wall in which eviscerated abdominal organs are covered by amnion rather than skin.
在观察到的自然分娩过程中，发现两头小牛患有脐膨出。两头小牛均在出生后数小时内被送往兽医医院。其中一头小牛，其突出的肠管和肝脏的羊膜覆盖完整，通过疝修补术成功治愈。第二头小牛在入院时羊膜已覆盖疝部破裂。由于腹腔严重污染，这头小牛在剖腹手术期间实施了安乐死。脐膨出是一种体壁先天性缺陷，其中突出的腹腔器官由羊膜而非皮肤覆盖。
