Polydactyly is an autosomal dominant hereditary trait and occurs mainly in mammals, with a low incidence and is characterized by the presence of supernumerary digits. This anomaly does not interfere with the health of the animal; it is only aesthetic, although it can cause economic loss in the case of breeding animals.
