Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a practical approach by which the cause of abortions in cattle may be determined. This will be presented under the following headings; definitions, magnitude of reproductive failure, some general causes of reproductive loss, infectious causes, and diagnostic rate. Ways to improve the diagnostic rate will include areas of responsibility, clinical examination and samples to collect.
