Pregnancy Scanning Details

Accuracy

With an experienced operator, ultrasound pregnancy scanning can be exceptionally accurate.
Like many technician services, the more work done the more accurate the results. That will require scanning thousands of cows every year.

Having a live visual image of the reproductive tract is more reliable than manually feeling by hand.



Effectiveness

Ultrasound pregnancy scanning testing is comparable to manual testing.
But there are cost savings as large numbers of cows can be scanned in less time.

In dairy herds the non invasive scanning process means no lost production, as manual pregnancy testing is very invasive and stressful to the animal, which can mean loss of production.
