A conjoined monster calf was delivered by caesarean section in a crossbred Holstein Friesian heifer. The calf was partially duplicated with single head (Monocephalic), two male foetuses joined at the thoracic region (Thoracopagus) and having well developed eight limbs that is four fore limbs (Tetrabrachius) and four hind limbs (Tetrapus) and both pelvis were separate (Dicaudatus). The occurrence of foetal monstrosities often leads to difficulty in parturition and also failed to be delivered by mutational operations. The present report records a successful management of dystocia due to monocephalic thoracopagus tetrabrachius tetrapus monster calf in a crossbred Holstein Friesian by caesarean section.
