Contributors from veterinary and animal sciences provide a thorough reference on the reproduction of cattle. For both bulls and cows, they consider anatomy and physiology, breeding and health management, and reproductive surgery. For cows they further consider obstetrics and pregnancy wastage. A final section explores assisted and advanced reproductive technologies. Among the topics are the ultrasound evaluation of the reproductive tract of the bull, preparing teaser bulls, the pharmacological intervention of estrous cycles, leptospirosis infectious agents, utilizing sex-sorted semen, and cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer.
