Breeding Soundness Evaluation for Beef and Dairy Bulls - FSA-3046
نویسنده
چکیده
The breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) is a practical method to identify bulls with less than satis factory breeding potential. This evalu ation should be conducted on every bull at least 30 to 60 days before each breeding season to allow enough time for replacement of deferred or unsatis factory bulls. The first step in a BSE is to select a veterinarian in your area who is competent in conducting a complete BSE. You cannot afford to use a bull who is not a satisfactory potential breeder.

Crossbred (Bos taurus) yearling beef bulls were assessed for breeding soundness and physical traits prior to multi-sire natural mating at pasture. Bulls (n = 60) were assigned to six groups of nine or 10 bulls and two bull-groups were rotated on 14-day intervals during a 63-day mating season in each breeding herd (n = 3) of 191-196 cows. The remaining bulls (n = 14) were maintained under simila...
