Abstract - Congenital abdominal defects in the ventrum are commonly seen in newborn calves. The condition should be addressed immediately to avoid any contamination and injury to organs. This condition can be corrected suc- cessfully through surgical intervention. A bovine calf of two days old was brought to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh having congenital umbilical de- fects with visceral eventration. The calf was operated immediately following standard surgical procedures. The calf was operated without any complication. However, the calf died on the second postoperative day which was known through telephonic conversation. Immediate surgical management and intensive post-operative care are essential for the successful outcome of congenital umbilical defect with visceral eventration in bovine calves.
