Wouldn't mycoplasma affect the morphology and be picked up when evaluating the semen prior to a breeding?Brucellosis is only the tip of the iceberg..and not the one that is most common. There are mycoplasmas and things like that out there that give NO indication that there is anything wrong, but can be transmitted. PLUS...a culture for mycoplasma takes so long to get that by the time it's in, if your bitch was in heat when it was taken...it's too late to breed her!! (I just checked this on my last breeding...12 days for a mycoplasma culture here.)
