Bovine Fetal Sexing Video Series

Fetal sexing is valuable in bovine reproduction as it provides information to our producers that can help them make decisions regarding which animals to sell, treat, and cull. It allows us to look for freemartins and to estimate the number of replacement heifers we can expect. Our four-part series will introduce you to the concepts of fetal sexing, provide information on imaging in the three planes, and cover probe handling to acquire different orientations. We delve into the specifics of the male and female fetus, and finish up with a self-test of images that you can use to practice your skills.
