🛜Ultrasound in Bovine Reproduction🐄
Ultrasonography has become an inseparable tool for veterinarians working with cattle reproduction. Choosing the right portable device is an investment that directly impacts diagnostic accuracy, work comfort, and farmer satisfaction. Not every machine works well in cowshed conditions, so it’s worth following several key criteria:
✅ Mobility & Durability
Lightweight, compact, resistant to shocks, moisture, dust, and low temperatures. Wearable units free your hands during re**al exams.
✅ Image Quality
Clear, high-contrast images are essential for evaluating ovaries, detecting cysts and follicles, confirming pregnancy age, or diagnosing uterine pathologies. Resolution, probe frequency, and depth of imaging are crucial.
✅ Probe Type
A re**al linear probe (5–9 MHz) is the standard. Advanced devices may allow convex probes for additional diagnostics.
✅ Battery Life
At least 4 hours of intensive use, with quick battery replacement or charging from a car socket or powerbank.
✅ Ease of Use & Features
Fast start-up, intuitive controls, pregnancy mode with automatic follicle and embryo measurement, and options for simple saving results
✅ Service & Support
Local service availability, quick repairs, and access to spare parts are just as important as specifications.
The right ultrasound device should combine durability, mobility, clear imaging, ergonomic probes, long battery life, and simple operation. It becomes a daily partner in the vet’s work, improving diagnostics, building farmer trust, and creating a competitive advantage.
