Bull Soundness Examination

Full Bull Breeding Soundness Examinations can be performed by this Practice using our Electro-ejaculator. Sub fertile bulls are common, (approximately 20% of bulls tested are sub-fertile), resulting in elongated calving blocks and significant reductions in average weaning weights and increases in cow barren rates. This inefficiency results is a significant reduction in farm profits. A fertile bull must be able to successfully serve 90% of 50 cows in 9 weeks. Annual Bull Breeding Soundness examinations represent a sound investment in suckler herd productivity and include a full clinical examination and semen evaluation.
