Genital Abnormalities
Dairy heifers unable to con
ceive after four or more
breedings may be restricted by
genital abnormalities, ex
periments at Pennsylvania State
University indicate. Such genital
abnormalities account for 10 to
20 per cent of the failures of
conception, according to Dr. T.Y.
Tanabe and Dr. J.O. Almquist,
dairy physiologists with the
Agricultural Experiment Station
at Penn State.
The experiments analyzed the
incidence, type, and severity of
abnormalities of the reproductive
system among 180 subfertile
dairy heifers which had failed to
conceive after repeated
breedings
Results of the studies are
published in “Gross Genital
Abnormalities,” a bulletin
gaining an international
reputation for thoroughness of
subject matter and high quality
of color illustrations Requests
for “Gross Genital Ab
normalities” have come to Penn
State from many parts of the
world
The bulletin features 24 color
plates showing various genital
abnormalities Cooperating on
the project at Penn State were
