Manuals are available from the WCABP Office
WCABP Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation Manual
The second edition of the WCABP Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation Manual by Albert D
Barth is now available through the WCABP office at a cost of $20. The main change
to the second edition is an update on scrotal circumference data and an improvement in
photograph quality. The manual is meant to be a guide to practitioners and a teaching
resource for veterinary students. The contents of the manual include the methods and
reasons for the evaluation of Libido and Service Capacity, Physical Soundness, and Semen
Quality. There is a discussion on Normal and Abnormal Spermatogenesis, The Pubertal Bull,
and use of the WCABP Breeding Soundness Evaluation Form. There is a 14-page glossary of
high quality photographs of all of the types of sperm abnormalities. A brief summary of
the significance of each type of sperm defect is provided with each photograph. The
salient details of the bull evaluation methods and philosophy is supported by 97
references from the literature.
