An infertility case from the disease investigation files

The Beef Cattle Health and Nutrition Podcast

This week I'm presenting a quick mini episode with a case from our disease investigation files. This particular cow-calf herd had a disappointing pregnancy rate and we suspected a bacteria called Ureaplasma may have been responsible for the infertility. Ureaplasma is a bit of a tricky organism as we can find this bacteria in completely normal animals and so it is difficult to determine when it is truly responsible for infertility issues. Have a listen to learn what we do know about Ureaplasma diversum as a cause of reproductive failure.
