BCF Technology Release New Bovine Foetal Sexing Quick Guide

BCF bovine foetal sexing guide As part of BCF’s continued commitment to providing learning to the veterinary industry, BCF have now released a new bovine foetal sexing quick guide as a free download on the BCF website – www.bcftechnology.com. This quick guide will aid you in learning the skill of foetal sex determination with ultrasound. The guide provides

• Detailed annotated images
• Tips on positioning the foetus
• Step-by-step written and image instruction.

Using ultrasound for foetal sex determination can be useful to herd management programmes. You can estimate the number of replacement heifers, further justify the culling of a cow with chronic disease (mastitis, lameness etc.) and determine pricing for a sale and/or purchase. The guides have been created by BCF in-house vet Kimberley Palgrave who commented: ““The bovine foetal sexing guide was created with the aim of giving vets a few tips to help them develop confidence in foetal sex determination using ultrasound. Hopefully this guide can help people feel more assured in their technique and enable them to obtain additional information that the farmer can use in their herd management programme.” To download the foetal sexing guide, please visit the farm animal learning section of the BCF website www.bcftechnology.com
