Objectives: The objective of this presentation is to review the parallel evolution of reproductive management of cattle and the use of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool since 1995, to consider possible future developments, and to encourage veterinarians to be the primary providers of ultrasound diagnostic services.
Materials and methods: Historical documents and personal experience in practice were compiled to present a timeline of the evolution of management and diagnostic methods for bovine reproduction. Current research was reviewed to understand possible future developments.
Client interviews were utilized to understand the producer’s perspective in choosing a provider for diagnosis and consultation regarding the reproductive health programs on their farms.
Results: Parallel advances in the management and diagnosis of bovine reproductive health over the last 30 years have driven the need for skilled consultants and diagnosticians. Producers recognize that their veterinarians are uniquely suited to understand the current science and best provide these services. They also feel their veterinarian is more cost effective and reliable than hiring a technician or training a farm employee.
Conclusions: As the capabilities of ultrasound technology and our knowledge of bovine reproductive management evolve veterinarians are uniquely equipped to provide the best service for producers.
