This is a literature review in which we present, in a narrative form, the results and conclusions of original research on the pathophysiology and diagnostic methods for the identification of XX/XY chimerism or freemartin anomaly in cattle. Freemartinism affects up to 92% of the pregnancies involving different sex twins. Exchange and transfer of cells and hormones from the male to the female cause suppression of the female’s reproductive system development and lead to the development of a masculine reproductive system that produces infertile females. Since diagnosing this anomaly is important to stockbreeders, efficient detection techniques have been development.
