Veterinary: Bovine Ultrasound examination

Evaluation of the bovine reproductive tract is an essential aspect of both beef and dairy herd management.

A bovine ultrasound examination provides farmers and veterinarians with real-time, high-quality pictures of a cow’s (or bovine animal’s, including oxen and buffalo) reproductive canal.

When it comes to monitoring the reproductive status and overall health of farm animals, veterinarians prefer ultrasonography. Ultrasound can not only increase the quality of a practitioner’s job, but it may also save money.

Which ultrasound scanner is recommended for bovine examination?

Using a Linear transducer is highly needed for bovine animal production. For this reason, our medical research and development team highly recommends the Handheld Veterinary Probe, Full Digital Vet Ultrasound Scanner Vet-2, which is long-lasting and capable of withstanding the rectum’s unpredictability.

This transducer features a lengthy cable and a streamlined form that makes it easier to place the probe into the rectum of the calf. The probe is also built to work at frequencies that are optimal for imaging reproductive bovines.

In cows, bulls, and other bovine animals, ultrasound is considered the safest and most useful method for real-time diagnostic imaging. Vet-2 emphasizes significant benefits over other technologies by giving good ultrasound pictures of soft tissues, particularly the reproductive tract.

It helps scan other regions of the animal to accurately diagnose and apply treatments to infections and damages of the mammary gland, lungs, liver, bladder, and kidneys. Vet-2 can also aid vets to better identify musculoskeletal and visceral structures.

Ultrasound provides more accurate information about the best insemination times, it is also being increasingly used for general imaging in order to see the condition of the animal. Ultrasound helps to also identify earlier fetal gender, get accurate fetal ageing information, confirm fetal viability and evaluate improved ovarian and uterine structure.
