8
Q

Know why the location of the reproductive tract in domestic animals is significant for reproductive management (i.e. transrectal palpation and ultrasound and some of its applications).

A

Below the rectum
-Palpation can be done through the rectal tissue: Less struggle (not through cervix) and less risk of infection
-Rectal tissue: Better view of tract and ultrasound
