The BSE is not a direct evaluation of fertility: this can be confirmed only by successful production of offspring after breeding a fertile female. The specific male animal must be properly identified, and a detailed history is important because sub- or infertile males might require more exhaustive evaluation.
The internal organs that may be evaluated are the prostate and the bulbourethral glands. The prostate has been examined by ultrasonography and has been described as a hypoechogenic mass of tissue located cranial to the bladder. The bulbourethral glands may be also evaluated digitally and by ultrasonography.
The breeding soundness exam (BSE) is much more than a \u201csemen test.\u201d It consists of a physical exam that should include examination of the eyes, feet and legs, teeth (if an older bull), and general overall condition. The bull should show a menace (blinking) response when its eyes are examined.

A complete breeding soundness examination includes: palpation and ultrasonography per rectum of the internal genitalia. manual and visual vaginal examination (vaginoscopy) aerobic culture of an endometrial swab/sample. cytologic evaluation of an endometrial swab/sample.
Zinc supplementation has been shown to increase ejaculate volume, sperm concentration and motility in bulls. Furthermore, chelated/organic sources of zinc supplementation resulted in more improved fertility than did inorganic sources alone (Arthington et al., 2002).
After the general exam, the veterinarian will measure the bull's scrotal circumference. Bulls with larger scrotal circumferences are more fertile and have daughters that are more fertile and mature earlier. The vet will also collect a semen sample and determine the percentage of motile sperm and normal sperm.
During the structural soundness assessment, the veterinarian examines the overall condition of the animal including the flesh, feet, legs, eyes and teeth.
To pass a breeding soundness evaluation, a bull must have at least 30 percent sperm motility, 70 percent normal sperm morphology, and a minimum scrotal circumference based on age (Table 1). Bulls meeting these minimum requirements are classified as satisfactory potential breeders.
