[QUOTE="bovine, post: 715034, member: 12486"] You can test. It requires sheath washings from the bull - so needs to be reasonably compliant. Can be treated with penicillin into the sheath and into the muscle. After treatment a further sample needs to be taken to ensure the infection has cleared. Older vets used to stick a bottle up the sheath and a bottle IM in the olden days when bull hiring (a disgusting practice IMO) was more common. I'm aware of farms where the speculative treatment didn't work. A virgin bull removes all the expense and hassle. [/QUOTE]
