Trichomoniasis, or more commonly know as Trich, is a very serious economic problem for cattle producers. It is a reduced calf crop as well as lower weaning weights. It does this by causing infertility in your breeding cows and requiring a longer breeding season.
But all is not lost. It may seem like a devastating disease but you can prevent it from showing up. There are steps that you can take to prevent Trich from showing up in the first place. Here are some things for you to consider:
With breeding season on it’s way now is a good time to get started getting the bull ready. Usually the cows are the main focus, but what about your bulls? Are they ready to service multiple cows during the breeding timeframe? Since just one will be providing 50% of the genetic material for your next calf crop you will want to make sure that he is ready to go.
