Abstract:
The presence of leukocytes in semen causes bulls to potentially be unsatisfactory breeders. Multistix® 10 SG Reagent Strips (Bayer Healthcare, Elkhart, IN) and the Uriscreen™ catalase test (Jant Pharmacal Corporation, Encino, CA) were used to evaluate their possibility to serve as chute-side tests to detect leukospermia and bacteriospermia in yearling bulls. The reagent strips detect esterases produced by granulocytes, whereas the catalase test reportedly detects the presence of somatic cells ( 〉 10 cells per high power field) or bacteria ( 〉 5 x 104 CFU/ml).
