One hundred clinically healthy bulls were examined for ureaplasmas. The animals were divided into three groups; from the first group, ureaplasmas were isolated from semen of 24/50 animals; from the second, they were recovered from preputial scrapings of 19/25 animals and, from the third, from preputial washings of 10/25 animals.The whole of the literary matter of the New Zealand Veterinary Journal is copyright Taylor and Francis, Downloading this article signifies agreement with the terms and conditions of electronic access.
