The Management of Bulls. [may. 



If a cow is in proper season one thorough service is all that 

 is necessary. Double service should not be allowed : it 

 is apt to reduce the constitution and condition of the bull, 

 and it tends to diminish the number of cows he can effectively 

 serve in one season and to shorten the period during which he 

 is suitable for stock purposes. 



Care should be taken that a young bull does not serve too 

 many cows during a short period, especially when first used 

 for service, or he will become stunted and lose his vigour, 

 and possibly become temporarily or perhaps permanently 

 unfruitful. 



Prevention of Abortion. — There is a danger of bulls being 

 the means of spreading abortion, and owners should therefore 

 enforce strict adherence to the Regulations of the Ministry 

 as set out in the Model Rules for a BuU Society (L-), which 

 are framed to prevent the spread of this disease.
