Dr. Milad Fallahdoost, a veterinarian who has been monitoring the cow, explained that the cow was artificially inseminated and had previously given birth to single calves. “The occurrence of quintuple births is extremely rare and requires a combination of multiple genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors,” he noted.
