Course 37 Bull Breeding Soundness Exams – More Than a Wiggle Test

Large animal practitioners have the opportunity to make a large impact on cattle operations both large and small every year when they perform annual bull breeding soundness exams. The aims of this lecture are: 1) to assist practitioners in building a repertoire to portray the value in the breeding soundness examination to their clients; 2) update practitioners on current recommendations regarding semen analysis and the new updated standards that were released by the Society for Theriogenology in the fall of 2018; 3) build a solid foundation of knowledge and fact regarding bull breeding soundness examinations that practitioners can take with them into practice.
