TVMDL’s Gayman Helman Talks Abortion in Cattle and Considerations for Addressing It

Resident Director of the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Lab Gayman Helman says that in many cases, even with testing, it is hard to pinpoint why this might happen. But, having a relationship with your vet and knowing the steps to take when you do see a rise in abortion in your herd can help you narrow down the cause.
