Bull breeding soundness
Physical assessment and semen evaluation before turnout to reduce avoidable reproductive risk.
Service overview
Start with the question.
Build the right next step.
Every farm, animal and situation is different. These sections provide a useful starting point; the veterinarian will tailor recommendations to the case in front of us.
01What this service covers
A standardized pre-breeding assessment of the bull’s general health, feet and legs, reproductive tract, scrotal circumference and semen motility and morphology. It estimates breeding potential on the day examined but does not measure libido or guarantee fertility throughout the season.
02When to contact us
Book bulls far enough before turnout to allow time for recheck or replacement. Reassessment is sensible after illness, fever, injury, frostbite, lameness, poor previous results or an unexpectedly low herd pregnancy rate.
03What to expect
Safe restraint and suitable facilities are required. We collect history, perform the physical and reproductive examination, obtain and evaluate semen, and provide the recognized classification and any recommendation for recheck or further investigation.
