1. Immobilize the bull
Use a head gate and squeeze chute, or similar solid enclosure, to limit the side-to-side
and forward and backward motion of the bull. Bulls with room to move are more likely
to fall, making collections more difficult.
2. Footing is critical
Providing secure footing is perhaps the most important aspect of preparing a bull for
collection. Bulls that are slipping and sliding are difficult to collect from. Some veteri-
narians spread a bucket of sand over the enclosure’s floor to increase a bull’s footing,
and others have bulls stand in ankle-deep sand to ensure stable footing.
3. Prestimulate the bull
Manually prestimulating the bull for 10-15 seconds prior to inserting the probe can
relax the animal, and shorten collection time.
4. Try automatic mode first
Veterinarians have found that up to 90% of bulls can be quickly collected from using
ElectroJac’s unique automatic mode. Manual mode is most useful with older bulls
that are more difficult to stimulate.
