ABOUT US
Ultra-Scan was established in 1994 with the introduction of ultrasonic equipment for pregnancy testing in cows.
Our Story
Ultra-Scan has grown over the years by building a strong network of franchisees across New Zealand. While our primary focus is pregnancy scanning of dairy cows using the latest equipment, we also offer a variety of on-farm services, including calf disbudding, de-teating, DNA sampling, and EID calf tagging. In some regions, we also provide specialised deer, goat, and sheep scanning services.
