An adult bull was presented with history of malformed lower jaw since birth. Although, bull had no problem in feed mastication but there was difficulty in feed intake. Physical examination revealed a normal mandible on both right and left side and small extra lower jaw connected in rostral region of normal jaw with a fibrous tissue. Extra hanging portion of lower jaw was removed surgically. Acceptable cosmetic appearance was reported three weeks after.
