Breeding soundness evaluation of yearling bulls
1Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences Department, Clemson University, South Carolina, USA.
Abstract:
Breeding Soundness Evaluations (BSEs) are a useful tool to improve reproductive performance and profitability in beef herds. Veterinarians providing this service must be thorough in their evaluation, especially in yearling bulls. The 1993 Society for Theriogenology guidelines for BSE provide appropriate standards for classifying yearling bulls; veterinarians are advised to adhere to these standards as minimums for classification of the satisfactory potential breeder.
