We now run a Ram and Bull testing service. Checking a rams and bulls fertility each season or when hired in is essential to avoid the expense in time lost and economics due to infertility within the herd. A fact often forgotten is that every day over 85days post calving lsot to infertility cost money in lost income and can be avoided by checking the bull before turnout with the dairy or beef herd.
There are 5 general factors that can affect bull fertility:
-
structural soundness
-
capability of the reproductive organs
-
quality of semen
-
level of libido
-
plane of nutrition
All are important and a deficiency in any category will negatively affect fertility.
