Scawfell Genetics Bull Stud

All bulls go into quarantine on arrival

Quarantine – All bulls arriving on our bull stud go into an isolation pen to meet quarantine regulations while they have all their tests, usually for around a month, however, it can take longer occasionally. 

If precautionary steps aren’t taken there is a risk of disease outbreaks through artificial insemination of cattle. This is why all bulls remain in quarantine while undertaking health tests. 

There is a risk of undetected infections which not only puts all the bulls on the bull stud at risk but also further spread from the semen produced by the bulls.

All bulls on entering the bull stud go directly to quarantine whilst undergoing health tests and remain isolated from any of the bulls on stud to ensure sound biosecurity measures are adhered to.

Scawfell Genetics – cattle genetics works closely with a veterinary service that provides regular examinations of the bulls to ensure quarantine, biosecurity, EU Legislation and animal health is maintained to the highest level.

Scawfell Genetics will apply for your AI license, including test for TB,
