Making sure the bull is not lame and is disease free and fertile is a must before sending a bull into the breeding group. Veterinarians at Perry Vet can do a full breeding soundness exam to evaluate fertility. Taking key measurements, examination of external genitalia, and reviewing sperm numbers and morphology allows us to score a bull on fertility. This ensures a good bull going into a breeding group.

Rumen Fistula Surgery

Creating an on-farm rumen donor by placing a rumen cannula into a “donor” cow has become more and more common. Placing rumen fluid from the donor cow into an off-feed animal will aid in getting proper rumen “bugs” re-established more rapidly. Veterinarians at Perry Vet can do the rumen fistula surgery and train your personnel in proper rumen fluid donation technique.
