Penile Translocation Surgery of a Calf for Exact and Quick Detection of Estrus on a Dairy Farm

유우목장에서 빠르고 정확한 발정탐지를 위한 숫송아지의 음경전위술

  • Published : 2009.08.31

Abstract

A surgery of penile translocation was performed on a seven-month-old male calf born in August 26, 2007. With a penis deviated, as to prevent proper coitus on a dairy farm, the calf would be introduced to the group of cows and heifers before sniffing around to detect which one is in heat and to indicate to a veterinarian the right time for artificial insemination or embryo transfer. This study showed how to make a teaser bull in his young age.

2007년 8월 26일 생인 7개월된 숫송아지에게 음경전위술을 실시했다. 음경의 방향을 바꿔 정상적인 교미를 불가능하게 함으로써 경산우와 처녀우군에 도입이 되면 후각을 이용하여 발정을 탐지하게 되고 수의사에게 인공수정 혹은 수정란이식의 최적시간을 제공하게 될 것이다. 본 보고는 어린 숫송아지에게 실시되는 음경전위술법을 설명한 것이다.
