BULLCHECK™ Scheme
About the BULLCHECK™ Accreditation Scheme
The standardised BULLCHECK™ Veterinary Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation uses prescribed assessments and summarises the result into five fertility components. If a bull meets all the minimum standards at all levels of the BULLCHECK™ , it has a high probability of being fertile.
​
In common law, a bull sold as a breeding bull should be able to breed (Supreme Court of NSW, Decision), so it is very important that as many as possible of the components of fertility are met in the BULLCHECK™. A pass on BULLCHECK™ is not an express guarantee, but rather an indication of the potential breeding value of the bull in a normal mating situation.
​
A full BULLCHECK™ of an animal includes identification, history (including vaccinations) plus five key components, namely:
-
A general physical examination including structure (conformation) and upper reproductive tract
-
An examination of the testes and measurement of scrotal size
-
A serving assessment to evaluate libido and mating ability
-
Collection and assessment of a semen sample
-
Laboratory examination of sperm morphology.
The ACV recommends all five components be used for higher value bulls which may need to be used for single sire mating, or with heavier mating loads under more intensive conditions. Both the vendor and buyer can decide which fertility components they require their bulls to pass to meet their objectives during a transaction.
