[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1592030, member: 27490"] A servicing performance is usually not performed in a BSE which is acknowledged in the Merck Veterinarian Manual as excerpted below. Just as libido is often not assessed. I suspect it is only tested in cases where circumstances demand[u].[u] In bulls, assessment of libido is often not possible during a routine breeding soundness examination (BSE). However, if possible, the bull should be observed serving cows to allow assessment of his desire to breed, ease of mounting, ability to achieve erection and extend the penis, and presence of penile deviation or other abnormalities that may prevent successful service. Libido and serving capacity tests (scoring the number of services achieved during a set time that a bull is in a pen with a restrained cow) have been devised but are time consuming and difficult to standardize under field conditions. In addition, the results are difficult to interpret in light of the variety of stocking conditions used, eg, single versus multiple bulls or small paddocks versus large ranges[/u].[/u] [/QUOTE]
