Veterinary ultrasound instruments are widely used
Veterinary ultrasound instruments are widely used in animal husbandry, mainly for animal pregnancy testing, fetal age estimation, fetal number determination, uterine disease detection, and back fat eye muscle area measurement. Below I will introduce in detail the use of veterinary ultrasonic instruments, pregnancy test methods, back fat eye muscle area measurement methods and price information.
How to use veterinary ultrasonic instruments
Equipment preparation: Make sure that the ultrasonic instrument functions normally, and check whether the host, probe, battery (if removable), and charger are complete.
Installation and power on: After installing the battery or charging, turn on the machine to check whether the indicator light is on normally.
Determine the inspection position: Determine the position of the animal that needs to be examined by B-ultrasound, and ensure that the animal is in a standing position and stable.
Apply coupling agent: Apply coupling agent to the probe to fill the tiny gaps between the contact surfaces to improve the penetration of ultrasound.
Perform inspection: Place the probe close to the animal’s skin and perform front-to-back, up-and-down positioning fan-shaped scans.
Image freezing and analysis: After a clear image appears on the display, press the freeze button to freeze the image, and then analyze the image.
Pregnancy test method with veterinary ultrasound instrument
In vitro pregnancy test: suitable for small animals such as pigs and sheep. Place the probe at a specific position on the lower abdomen of the animal (such as the second-to-last nipple position of the sow), and scan it close to the skin at a 45° angle upward.
In vivo pregnancy test: suitable for large livestock such as cattle, horses, and donkeys. It is necessary to perform an intrarectal test to determine whether the pregnancy is determined by finding the correct position and observing the image.
Method for measuring the back fat eye muscle area with veterinary ultrasound instrument
Preparation of measurement tools: Use a dedicated back fat eye muscle area meter, such as Boxianglai BXL-V60, equipped with a high-frequency linear array probe.
Selection of measurement position: Usually choose between the 12th and 13th ribs, a certain distance from the midline of the back for measurement.
Apply coupling agent: Apply an appropriate amount of coupling agent to the measurement site.
Place the probe and collect images: Place the probe at the measurement position, start the meter, and collect ultrasonic images of the back.
Measurement and recording: Use the measurement function of the meter to measure the depth, width and area of the eye muscle, and record the data.
Veterinary Ultrasonic Instrument Price
The price of veterinary ultrasonic instruments varies according to brand, model and function. Generally speaking, the price of ultrasonic instruments for in vitro pregnancy testing is relatively low, which may be around a few thousand yuan; while the price of ultrasonic instruments for in vivo pregnancy testing or with more functions is higher, which may reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. The specific price needs to be determined according to market demand and product performance.
I hope the above information can help you. If you have more questions about veterinary ultrasonic instruments or need further help, please feel free to ask questions.
