Disorders of sexual development in small ruminants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intersex conditions, also known as disorders of sexual development (DSD), are uncommon in small ruminants. This report describes in detail, 2 cases of DSD in small ruminants, including clinical presentation, histopathological and cytogenetic analysis that led to the final diagnoses. Case 1, a mixed-breed ewe, was assessed due to a reported ram-like behavior at ~ 6 months of age. Physical examination revealed abnormal external genitalia with enlarged clitoris and bilateral inguinal gonads, histologically confirmed as testicular tissue. Karyotyping revealed sex chromosome blood chimerism (54XX, 54XY), implicating freemartinism as the cause of DSD. Case 2 was a 1-year Nigerian Dwarf cryptorchid male goat presented for castration. During surgery, bilateral ovoid gonads attached to a bicornuate uterus were identified. Histology revealed testicular tissue and uterus alongside vas deferens were consistent with persistent Müllerian duct syndrome. This report describes presentations, findings, and features of DSD, a rare occurrence in small ruminants.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
