Controlling Trich

Angus Beef Bulletin
With estimates as high as 16% of Western bulls infected with trichomonosis (trich), it’s easy to understand why 11 out of 19 Western states have implemented trich control programs and state regulations. Requirements and procedures vary greatly by state, but few states have seen much reduction in the disease, which wreaks financial havoc for producers by causing early-term abortions, resulting in reduced calving percentages and extended calving seasons.
