The "herd approach" to bovine reproductive disorders. Part I: The diagnosis and management of infectious infertility
Abstract
The authors describe the methods employed by the Artificial Insemination Section of the Division of Veterinary Services in collaboration with the Reproduction and Bacteriology Section of the Veterinary Research Institute, Onderstepoort when herds are examined for infertility. A "herd" rather than an "individual animal" approach is advocated and certain infectious causes of infertility are discussed.
