Consult a veterinarian for advice on the vaccination procedure for a particular herd. Vibriosis is a venereal disease causing infertility and occasionally, abortion. It is spread from an infected bull to a cow during the breeding act. Bulls also may be infected by breeding infected cows. Prevention can be achieved by proper vaccination within the herd.
Trichomoniasis is also a venereal disease.
Symptoms include occasional abortions and breeding inefficiency. It is also spread by the use of an infected bull. Before use, test bulls, except virgin bulls, through culture methods at least three times at weekly intervals. Prevention may be achieved by proper vaccination within the herd. A thorough understanding of the reproductive diseases, their causes and effects will assist producers in maintaining a healthy herd status.
