                                         Veterinary ultrasound is widely used in animal husbandry

In animal husbandry, ultrasonic technology has become an indispensable diagnostic and management tool.  Veterinary ultrasound (also known as Veterinary diagnostic ultrasounic imaging machine, or ultrasound for farm animals ) plays an important role in several ways, and here are some key application areas:

Pregnancy diagnosis:
Ultrasound can be used to confirm whether the animal is pregnant, and the exact time of pregnancy. This is particularly useful in cattle, sheep, pigs, and other mammals.
Viable embryos can be detected by ultrasound at around 30 days after mating, which is earlier and safer than traditional rectal palpation.
Ultrasound can also be used to assess the health of the embryo, such as a heartbeat, to determine whether the embryo is viable.

Disease diagnosis:
Ultrasound can be used to detect abnormalities in internal organs, such as diseases of the liver, kidney, and heart, as well as tumors, cysts, and inflammation.
It can also be used to diagnose diseases of the reproductive system, such as metritis and ovarian cysts.

Embryo counting and evaluation:
Ultrasound can help estimate the number of fetuses in pregnant animals, which is critical for expected production management and resource allocation.
It can also help assess fetal size and growth, as well as detect if there is stillbirth or embryo absorption.

Postpartum monitoring:
Postpartum ultrasound can ensure that the uterus is returning to normal and check for residual fetal clothing, which is key to preventing postpartum infections.
It can also be used to diagnose postpartum complications such as uterine pus or fluid accumulation.

Nutrition and carcass assessment:
Especially in cattle, ultrasound can be used to assess subcutaneous fat thickness, which is very important for nutrient management and market value assessment of fattened cattle.

Genetic and reproductive Management:
Ultrasound can be used to assist selective reproduction, such as assessing testicle and semen quality in male animals, or follicle development in female animals.
It is also used to assess embryo quality before embryo transfer.

Research and Education:
Ultrasound is used in animal science research to monitor embryonic development, drug testing, and genetic research.

It is also used in the training of veterinary students as a non-invasive and practical teaching tool.
The application of ultrasound in animal husbandry not only improves animal health and welfare, but also optimizes farm economic efficiency and production efficiency. With advances in technology, veterinary ultrasound equipment has become increasingly portable and easy to use, making on-site inspections possible and further enhancing its practicality in animal husbandry.
 

A variey of digital B/W veterinary ultrasound and veterinary color doppler ultrasound has been exported to over 130 countries over the past 17 years.
