title: [Legal report: expert opinion. Can the induction of abortion in heifers mated accidentally and too young be expected from the owner?].
abstract: The objective of the presented expert opinion is the reasonability of a termination of unwanted pregnancies for the owner of young heifers mated accidentally by a bull. Because the heifers were too young when conceiving they showed retarded growth and dystocia when delivering after normal course of pregnancy. These problems could have been avoided by pregnancy diagnosis and subsequent induction of abortion in time.
