Categories: Behaviour / neurological phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Species-specific name: Tongue play, Tongue rolling

Species-specific description: Abnormal obsessive-compulsive behavior reported in German cattle as 'Zungenschlagen' [tongue wagging] or 'Zungenspielen' [tongue play] which can lead in extreme cases to malnutrition. Nutritional deficiencies and sub-optimal husbandry conditions are considered to contribute to aetiology and a genetic predisposition has been discussed by Bauer (1955).

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Breeds: Brown Swiss (Cattle) (VBO_0000166), Fleckvieh-Simmental, Germany (Cattle) (VBO_0002354).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
