Koziol et al. (2025) cited the clinical relevance of their work as "This research enhances the understanding of T foetus pathology in bulls and suggests that epididymal semen recovery could be a viable method for preserving genetic material from valuable bulls that test positive for T foetus. It also emphasizes the need for timely post mortem sampling to ensure accurate detection and management of T foetus in the cattle industry."
