Why do bulls smell and taste the urine of a cow or heifer?
This is called Flehmen response, and it's the bull's way of knowing whether the female is in heat or not. He does this by smelling and tasting the urine of the cow as she urinates, then he raises his head up as high as possible and curl his upper lip up to restrict airflow through the nasal passage. Subatmospheric pressure is created in the nasopalatine duct which allows the urine to be aspirated or "inhaled" through the duct and into the sensory surfaces of the vomeronasal organ. These sensory organs test for pheromone activity that is in the urine of the cow or heifer and lets the bull know whether she is ready to be serviced or not.
