Influence of Tuberculin Test protocols on Semen Quality

Abstract

In the modern economy we struggle a big competition especially in the production animal sector therefore their performance which is especially defined by their reproduction status is of great value if we want to be able to face the competitive pressure at the modern market. This is why this thesis deals with stressors influencing the sperm quality of beef and dairy bulls such as the intradermal tuberculin tests. Some bulls may be more sensitive to just small environmental adjustments and stressors that’s why an “easy” procedure such as the tuberculin probe can have a big influence on the following ejaculation quantity and quality. As a consequence, will my following work deal with the impact of these protocols observed in the semen station at “Bos genetic Kft.”.
